Tschechien-Kader bei der EM 2024: Wer ist dabei? Und wer fehlt?
The Czech Republic, who surprised everyone by reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2021, have always qualified for the European Championship since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. Who will be the 23 players representing Czechia at Euro 2024 in Germany? Here is all you need to know about the Euro 2024 squad. This time around, they secured the second spot in their qualifying group and will face Portugal, Turkey, and Georgia at Euro 2024 in Germany.
However, the preparation for the European Championship did not go smoothly. Coach Jaroslav Silhavy resigned after a series of poor performances that almost led to missing out on qualification. The international matches in October 2023 marked a turning point. Following a 0-3 loss in Albania and a narrow win against the Faroe Islands, Czechia was under pressure. They needed to avoid a defeat against Moldova in the final qualification match, which they did with a 3-0 victory, securing the second spot in the group. Despite successful qualification, Silhavy stepped down and was replaced by Ivan Hasek, who had previously led the national team on an interim basis in 2009.
