UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group C

Group C of the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying tournament was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.^[1] Group C consisted of six teams: Spain, Ukraine, Slovakia, Belarus, Macedonia, and Luxembourg,^[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.^[3]

Originally Gibraltar had been drawn in this group, but were moved to group D due to Spain not being willing to play them because of the disputed status of Gibraltar.^[4]
