A look at what’s happening in European football on Sunday:

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING

GROUP A

Spain visits Erling Haaland's Norway seeking a win that will clinch qualification for the three-time European champions. A victory in Oslo will put Spain into the finals of Euro 2024 with two games remaining. Norway has to beat Spain to keep alive its chances of finishing in the top two.

Scotland is not in action, but the surprise group leader will qualify if Norway fails to beat Spain. Spain beat Norway 3-0 at home in March, when the visitors were missing Haaland because of injury. Also, Georgia hosts Cyprus.

GROUP D

Group leader Türkiye hosts Latvia and could qualify for next year's tournament in Germany if results go its way Sunday. Türkiye advances if it beats Latvia and Wales fails to defeat Croatia. A draw for Türkiye and a Welsh defeat will also see the Turks qualify.

GROUP E

First-place Albania is not in action but has the most to gain from results in the group. Albania is the only team that can secure its qualification if host Poland and Moldova draw, and if the Czech Republic fails to beat Faroe Islands at home. Albania leads the group with 13 points from six games. Poland has nine points, one more than the Czechs and Moldova.

GROUP I

Israel's scheduled game against Kosovo was postponed, leaving group leader Switzerland versus fifth-place Belarus and second-place Romania facing bottom team Andorra. No team can advance on Sunday.

Jack Porter became Arsenal's youngest-ever player to start a first-team game when the 16-year-old goalkeeper made his debut against Bolton in the English League Cup on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.
At 16 years, 72 days old, Porter surpasses club icon Cesc Fabregas, who was 16 years, 177 days when he started against Rotherham in October 2003.
Porter was selected in place of first choice David Raya, who was ruled out with a thigh injury, Arsenal said.
Porter is an England under-17 international and was a substitute for Arsenal's game against Manchester City on Sunday.
He is the second-youngest player to represent Arsenal's first team.
Ethan Nwaneri holds that record after coming on as a substitute aged 15 years, 181 days in September 2022.
Nwaneri scored twice in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the third-division club.
