The Dailysports team tells you what you need to know about one of the participants in the tournament - the national team.

What is the Czechia's highest achievement in the history of European Championships?

As a separate team from Czechoslovakia, the Czechs made their European Championship debut in 1996 and immediately set an achievement that they have not been able to beat for almost 30 years.

At the tournament in England, the Czechia team reached the final, where they lost thanks to a rather forgotten concept like the "golden goal", which was scored by Oliver Birkhoff in the 95th minute. In 2004, the Czechs reached the semi-finals, and after that championship they can not overcome the quarter-final stage.
