France and Turkey have qualified for the 2020 European Championship after Iceland drew 0-0 in Istanbul.

Iceland needed to beat Group H leader Turkey on Thursday to stay in the running for a direct berth in next year's tournament.

Hordur Magnusson came close for Iceland, eight minutes from time, but his effort from a corner was blocked on the line by Turkey defender Merih Demiral. 

This marks Turkey's fifth appearance at the European Championships after reaching the competition in 1996, 2000, 2008 and 2016.
