The Czech Republic's Euro 2024 squad is beginning to take shape, as the 1976 champions set their sights on a strong showing in Germany.
Arguably the surprise package of Euro 2020, where they reached the quarter-finals, the Czechs finished second in their qualifying group to maintain their 100% record of making it every Euros since the break-up of Czechoslovakia in 1992.
They continued their tournament preparations with friendly wins against Norway and Armenia during the March international break.
As with every team taking part, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on the Czech Republic as we report live from the European Championship.
