Today, oxfortune will continue to share with you the introduction of the teams and schedules participating in the D-E-F group of the 2024 European Championship. The remaining three groups will be introduced to you all at once. There is a lot of work to be done, and I hope everyone can read it. Without further ado, let’s go straight to the work.
- 2024 European Championship – Group D – Poland
The Polish national football team is currently ranked 28th in the FIFA world rankings and is a second-tier team in European football. Despite Poland’s extensive experience in national team competitions, having been nominated for the World Cup nine times, their best performance was finishing third, and their performance in the World Cup is usually better than in the European Championship. Poland has only made it to the finals four times in the European Championship and has not advanced to the knockout stage in the latest edition. However, they hope to break through the group stage and set a new record in the 2024 European Championship.
The Polish team has a strong lineup, with many players playing in the five major leagues, such as Lewandowski, Zelensky, and Kash, among other well-known players. In the D group of the 2024 European Championship, Poland faced fierce competition, with the Netherlands, France, and Austria all ranking higher than Poland, especially with the strong strength of the Dutch and French teams. Poland’s path to qualifying in the group is full of challenges.
2024 Poland European Championship Schedule:
- June 16th at 21:00 Poland vs Netherlands
- June 22nd 00:00 Poland vs Austria
- June 26th at 00:00 France vs Poland
- 2024 European Championship Group D – Netherlands
According to the latest FIFA World Football Rankings, the Dutch national football team ranks 7th, highlighting its traditionally strong position on the European football stage. The development of football in the Netherlands has a long history and has been influenced by the English football style for a long time. The Dutch team on the world football stage has rich competition experience, reaching the World Cup finals 11 times and advancing to the World Cup semi-finals five times, winning the honor of runner-up three times. Despite this, the Dutch team has never been able to win the World Cup, which has earned them the title of “uncrowned king”. In the European Football Championship, the Dutch team also performed well, qualifying for the finals ten times and winning their first championship in 1988. This is also the only championship trophy the Dutch team has won so far in the European Championship. They hope to break this record in the 2024 European Championship.
The Dutch team’s lineup brings together star players from five major leagues and outstanding local talents, making the overall strength of the team strong. In the upcoming 2024 European Championship Group D, the Netherlands team will face challenges including the strong French team. However, the Netherlands team still has enough ability to stand out from this group.
Schedule for the 2024 Dutch European Championship:
- June 16th at 21:00 Poland vs Netherlands
- June 22nd at 03:00 Netherlands vs France
- June 26th at 00:00 Netherlands vs Austria
- 2024 European Championship Group D – Austria
Austria’s football ranking has risen to 25th in the world. Although considered a second-rate team in Europe, they reached the World Cup final in 1998 but have not been able to break through again since then. However, on the stage of the European Championship, their performance was more stable, and since their first entry into the finals in 2008, they have qualified for the competition twice in a row. In the 2020 European Championship, the Austrian team made historic progress to the round of 16. Looking ahead to the 2024 European Championship, they expect to surpass their previous achievements.
Famous players such as Sabice, Alaba, and Lemore have provided the team with a solid foundation of strength and tactical depth. Although players are distributed in major European leagues, tactical integration may take some time. In the D group of the 2024 European Championship, the Austrian team faces quite severe challenges, and if they are in the same group as strong teams such as France and the Netherlands, they need to have extraordinary performances to advance.
2024 Austria European Championship schedule:
- June 18th 03:00 Austria vs France
- June 22nd 00:00 Poland vs Austria
- June 26th at 00:00 Netherlands vs Austria
- 2024 European Championship Group D – France
The French football team ranks second globally, highlighting their outstanding performance on the European stage and solidifying their position as a top-strong team. This team has accumulated rich experience on the international stage and has won multiple honors. On the World Cup stage, they have won the championship twice, won the runner-up twice, and won third place twice; In the last two European Cups, the French team has won the championship and runner-up up respectively. At present, they have won the European Championship twice and the team is in a high-level period. The 2024 European Championship is considered their strong contender.
The French team has many world-class football stars, such as Mbappe, Glezmann, etc., with strong strength on all three fronts. In addition to the talents cultivated by the French Ligue 1 league, there are also numerous star players who have played in the five major leagues, enhancing the overall strength of the team. In the group stage of the 2024 European Championship, the French team was placed in Group D, and, with their outstanding strength, they are considered strong competitors for advancing to the group stage. However, they need to be wary of the Dutch team in the same group, which may pose a challenge to them. Relatively speaking, Austria and Poland may not be opponents of the French team.
Schedule for the 2024 European Championship in France:
- June 18th 03:00 Austria vs France
- June 22nd 00:00 Poland vs Austria
- June 26th at 00:00 Netherlands vs Austria
- 2024 European Championship – Group E – Belgium
The Belgian football team currently ranks fourth in FIFA rankings and is one of the top teams in the European region. Although the Belgian national team has not yet won top awards, their participation experience is quite extensive. The team has experienced setbacks but has also ushered in its golden age. On the World Cup stage, Belgium missed the opportunity to reach the finals in 2006 and 2010, but since 2014, they have successfully qualified for the finals for three consecutive terms. Especially in 2018, the Belgian team won third place in the World Cup, which was their best result in World Cup history. At the European Championship, Belgium failed to make it to the main tournament three times between 2004 and 2012, but in the last two matches, they successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, demonstrating their strong recovery.
The Belgian team is composed of many famous players, including De Bruyne, Lukaku, and Kurtuva, all of whom are renowned worldwide. The players are scattered among the five major leagues, and there are also many outstanding representatives of the Belgian domestic league, making the team’s lineup neat and strong. In the 2024 European Championship, Belgium was assigned to Group E, which was a relatively favorable signing. As the strongest team in the group, Belgium is expected to easily surpass opponents such as Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine to qualify for promotion.
2024 Belgium European Championship Schedule:
- June 18th at 00:00 Belgium Vs Slovakia
- June 23rd at 03:00 Belgium vs Romania
- June 27th 00:00 Ukraine vs Belgium
- 2024 European Championship – Group E – Slovakia
Slovakia is currently ranked 48th in FIFA’s world rankings and belongs to the third tier teams in Europe. Nevertheless, they still have a certain historical accumulation in the football field, which gives them the potential to compete in European football. In history, Slovakia’s predecessor Czechoslovakia has won two runner-ups in the World Cup. After independence, Slovakia qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 2010, which was their only time entering the World Cup finals and successfully reaching the round of 16. This was also Slovakia’s best performance in the competition. In terms of the European Championship, despite not having extensive experience, Slovakia has participated three times, including the upcoming 2024 European Championship. The overall level of the team is steadily improving, with the goal of breaking through the round of 16 and breaking through the best record in the European Championship.
Slovakia lacks top players in its player lineup, but there are still several players who play in the five major leagues, such as PeCarric and Dubkafka. The remaining players are scattered in various European leagues. Due to the wide range of players, Slovakia may need more time to integrate their lineup. In the upcoming 2024 European Championship, Slovakia will be placed in Group E, where their world ranking is the lowest. Although Belgium is the strongest team in the group, the strength between Ukraine, Romania, and Slovakia is relatively close, which provides more possibilities for Slovakia to advance to the group.
2024 Slovakia European Championship Schedule:
- June 18th 00:00 Belgium vs Slovakia
- June 21st at 21:00 Slovakia vs Ukraine
- June 27th at 00:00 Slovakia vs Romania
- 2024 European Championship – Group E – Romania
Romania currently ranks 46th in the football world and belongs to the third-tier teams in Europe. The highlights of the country’s football history were concentrated between 1990 and 1998, when they qualified for the World Cup three times in a row, reached the round of 16 twice, and reached the quarter-finals once. However, since 1998, Romania has not been able to qualify for the World Cup again. On the stage of the European Championship, Romania has made it to the finals five times, with the best result being reaching the quarter-finals in 2000. In most cases, the team has not exceeded the group stage. The last time they participated in the European Championship was in 2016, and in 2024 they qualified again, hoping to achieve good results in this competition.
The Romanian team consists of players from domestic leagues and players from the five major overseas leagues, with Puskas and Haji being well-known players from the five major leagues. Although the overall strength of the team is not top-notch, they have a certain level of competitiveness. In the 2024 European Championship, Romania was placed in Group E, and based on their unbeaten record in the qualifiers (six wins and four draws), they will strive to qualify for the group stage.
2024 Romanian European Championship Schedule:
- On June 17th at 21:00, Romania vs Ukraine
- June 23rd at 03:00 Belgium vs Romania
- June 27th at 00:00 Slovakia vs Romania
- 2024 European Championship – Group E – Ukraine
Ukraine currently ranks 22nd in the global football rankings and is a second-rate team in Europe. Since its establishment in 1991, although the football team in this country has not had extensive experience in major competitions, it has also had many highlights. They qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 2006 and advanced to the quarterfinals with impressive performance. On the stage of the European Championship, Ukraine also made an appearance and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals in the previous competition, demonstrating its competitiveness in international football.
Many players in the Ukrainian team play in the five major European leagues, especially members of the Kyiv Dynamo and Donetsk Shakhtar teams. In the 2024 European Championship, Ukraine was placed in Group E, which includes strong teams like Belgium. However, Ukraine also ranked second in the group due to their excellent performance in the qualifiers. If the team can play steadily, there is a chance for them to advance from the group.
2024 Ukraine European Championship Schedule:
- On June 17th at 21:00, Romania vs Ukraine
- June 21st at 21:00 Slovakia vs Ukraine
- June 27th 00:00 Ukraine vs Belgium
- Euro 2024- Group F – Türkiye
Türkiye’s football is currently ranked 40th in the FIFA rankings, and its national team level is considered to be the third tier in Europe. Although Türkiye’s achievements in European football competitions are limited, the progress of its domestic league has cultivated many players for the national team, making it maintain a place in European football. Türkiye’s experience on the international stage is fair, especially in the World Cup, although it has only entered the finals twice, one of which was in 2002 in the 21st century, and won third place. In the European Cup, Türkiye has entered the competition five times so far, of which the best record in its history is to enter the last four in 2008. In the last two European Cups, Türkiye successfully qualified for the competition, but both were eliminated in the group matches. Facing the 2024 European Championship,
Türkiye aims to break through the group stage. They, who were assigned to Group F, must compete with strong teams such as Portugal and the Czech Republic in order to secure the top two spot in the group. Given that Portugal’s football strength is higher than Türkiye’s, Türkiye is more difficult to score against Portugal, so how to win more points against Georgia and the Czech Republic has become the key to Türkiye’s strategic planning.
Euro 2024 Türkiye:
- 00:00, June 19, Türkiye VS Georgia
- At 00:00 on June 23, Türkiye VS Portugal
- At 03:00 on June 27, Czech Republic VS Türkiye
- 2024 European Championship – Group F – Georgia
Georgia’s ranking on the global football stage has risen to 75th place, despite being at the third-tier level in European football. This country has not yet made its debut in the World Cup finals and lacks experience in major competitions. However, thanks to the football tradition of the former Soviet Union, Georgia has made significant progress in football in recent years. In the 2024 European Championship, Georgia secured its first spot in the main tournament, and people are looking forward to their unexpected highlights.
Although there are not many stars playing in the five major leagues in the team, the players are still scattered throughout major European leagues. Among them, Kvarazhelia is the most valuable player in the team, and his value exceeds the sum of the other members of the team, demonstrating his important position in Georgian football. In Group F of the 2024 European Championship, Georgia met strong teams such as Portugal. Despite facing strong opponents, being able to compete against world-class players like Cristiano Ronaldo was also a gain for the team.
2024 European Championship Georgia Schedule:
- On June 19th at 00:00, Turkey vs Georgia
- June 22nd 20:00 Georgia vs Czech Republic
- June 27th 03:00 Georgia vs Portugal
- 2024 European Championship – Group F – Portugal
Portugal currently ranks sixth in the global football rankings, and as a traditionally strong European team, its performance has always been highly regarded. Since entering the 21st century, Portugal has advanced to the World Cup finals six times and successfully advanced to the group stage four times. Among them, the fourth place achieved in the 2006 World Cup was the country’s best result so far on the World Cup stage. In terms of the European Championship, Portugal also participated six times and advanced all the way to the group stage. Their best performance in the 2016 European Championship was finishing fourth.
Looking ahead to the 2024 European Championship, Portugal is placed in Group F and faces a relatively favorable playing environment, as their opponents in the same group have slightly weaker overall strength compared to themselves. As long as the team can maintain a stable performance, advancing to the group stage is not difficult for them. However, the Portuguese team’s goal clearly goes beyond that. This European Championship may be the last time that the country’s football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo represents the national team. As a loyal fan of Ronaldo, I hope he can lead the team to achieve even more brilliant results.
The Portuguese national team is shining with stars, and most of the players play in the five major European leagues. At the same time, the domestic league has also provided a lot of talent for the national team. Many players in the team, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Felix, B Fei, and Leo, are already well-known international football stars. The star players in the front line, midfield, and defense, as well as the team’s strong lineup, provide solid support for Portugal’s competition on the European football stage.
2024 European Championship Portugal Schedule:
- June 19th at 03:00 Portugal vs Czech Republic
- June 23rd 00:00 Ten Ears vs. Portugal
- June 27th 03:00 Georgia vs Portugal
- 2024 European Championship – Group F – Czech Republic
The Czech football team ranks 36th in the global rankings and is a second-rate team in Europe. The Czechoslovakia team in history has won the World Cup runner-up and the European Cup championship. Since independence, the Czech Republic has participated in the European Cup finals five times. In the previous European Championship, the Czech Republic successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, demonstrating excellent overall strength. Looking ahead to the 2024 European Championship, the Czech Republic hopes to surpass its historical best, while in Group F, only Portugal can compete with it. Although it is not easy to win the top spot in the group stage, as long as the Czech Republic fully leverages its advantage in the attacking line, it is still possible to enter the knockout stage of the European Cup.
The players in the team mainly come from the top European and domestic leagues, and strong players such as Hick and Schmidt will take on the attacking line, creating a threat for the team in the game. The depth of the Czech team’s lineup is second only to Portugal in Group F of the European Championship, and it is expected to create surprises in the game.

- June 19th at 03:00 Portugal vs Czech Republic
