The "Crusaders" had a typical qualifying campaign after their successful Nations League run, finishing second-to-last and earning six of their eight points against the group’s underdog, Cyprus. On the other hand, the "Locomotiva" finished neck and neck with Albania, both teams collecting 15 points. Still, the Czechs managed to surpass Poland and directly qualify for the Euros.
Georgia finally made a breakthrough during the March playoffs. After defeating Luxembourg and knocking out Greece on penalties, they secured their first-ever Euro spot. At the tournament, they didn't falter: after losing to Turkey, they drew with the Czechs and defeated Portugal. They even scored first in their knockout match against Spain, but ultimately suffered a 1-4 defeat to the eventual champions. For the Czech Republic, that one point from the tournament was their only success, as they were previously defeated by the Netherlands due to their own mistakes and lost 1-2 to Turkey in their final match.
Both managers retained their positions. Hašek called up his usual squad, while Sagnol is dealing with several absences, including six players and the pre-Euro retirement of Jaba Kankava. Additionally, Quirkvelia and Kvekveshiri, who are currently without clubs, will also be missing.
