As shown in the video, the easiest way is to download the UEFA Euro 2024 Real Groups from FM Scout. It's a mod in which all the Euros teams have already been made for you, exactly how they are in reality.
Make sure the downloaded file is in your editor folder (which is Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data).
Once you've done this, then start a new game - but make sure the editor file is activated.
Set the game to start on 01/04/2024, and make sure you have Finland, Norway or Sweden selected.
When you move to the Euro 2024 draw, the teams drawn should be exactly as they are in real life.
