The Austria Euro 2024 squad will come around sooner than you think, with Ralf Rangnick's side gearing up for this summer's finals just over the border in their boss' native Germany.
Austria have made the last two Euros, reaching the knockout stage for the first time in 2020 – where they were narrowly eliminated in the last 16 by eventual winners Italy.
This time around, they qualified as group runners-up, winning six and drawing of their eight games to finish a point behind Belgium.
With a talent-packed squad featuring the likes of David Alaba and Marcel Sabitzer, Austria could be one to keep an eye on at the finals. There, they'll face the Netherlands, France and Poland in the group stage.
As with every team at the tournament, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on Austria as we report live from the European Championship.
