Football fans know only too well the travails of trying to get tickets for top club matches, an undertaking that is particularly taxing when in relation to matches in the big leagues and competitions like the English Premier League or the UEFA Champions League.
However, the quest to find and purchase decently priced tickets for a major international tournament is a whole other level of difficulty. Doing so can prove next to impossible via traditional routes.
There are many who opt to apply for tickets via UEFA or FIFA for the European Championship and World Cup finals, respectively, but anyone who has previously trodden this path will tell you just how archaic and pointless this can prove.
Millions of fans apply for a relatively small pool of tickets, and as such, the vast majority are basically just wasting their time. It doesn’t help that both tournament organizers choose to release the first batch of tickets prior to the draw for the finals themselves, meaning that fans are applying ‘blind,’ knowing only the location and date of a match and not the identities of the two teams playing, which is patently absurd.
This is the equivalent of an Arsenal fan applying for tickets to see the Gunners facing Liverpool in a big top-tier clash, but more than likely, if successful, finding out that your tickets are for Luton Town vs Sheffield United.
At SeatPick we make the whole process far simpler and offer the guarantee of availability of tickets for all international fixtures.
We work with hundreds of the most trusted ticket reseller sites and then aggregate their sales on our platform, making it easier for supporters to seek out not just any tickets for their chosen game, but the best-priced ones available across the web.
Czech Republic vs Slovenia UEFA Euros Tournament Record
The Czech Republic have enjoyed a decent level of success in the UEFA European Championships, arguably more so than you’d expect for a nation of their comparative size.
In their first finals tournament as an independent nation, Dusan Uhrin’s star-studded squad fought their way to the UEFA European Championship Final at Euro 96.
They started the competition with a 2-0 defeat to Germany at Old Trafford before beating Italy and drawing with Russia to secure second spot in their group. A goal from one-time Manchester United star Karel Poborsky saw the Czech Republic then deal with Portugal in the Quarter-Finals, and in the Semi-Finals, it took penalties to knock out France.
This set up a final with Germany and a chance to secure revenge for that opening game loss. Liverpool playmaker Patrik Berger put the Czech Republic ahead just before the hour, but substitute Oliver Bierhof scored an equalizer to send the game to extra time and then grabbed a golden goal to clinch the title.
At Euro 2004, the Czech Republic looked on course to make it through to their second final but were surprisingly beaten by Greece, who went on to shock the footballing world and beat Portugal to take the UEFA European Championship crown.
Euro 2012 and Euro 2020 saw the Czech Republic make it to the Quarter-Finals, with Portugal and Denmark knocking them out in each tournament, respectively.
Slovenia’s only previous UEFA European Championship finals appearance came at Euro 2000 and saw Srečko Katanec’s side collect two points from three games thanks to draws against the Former Republic of Yugoslavia and Norway, with their only defeat coming at the hands of Spain.
Czech Republic vs Slovenia Head-to-Head
The Czech Republic and Slovenia have never previously met in the UEFA European Championship, and their only previous competitive clashes came in qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
On that occasion, a goal from Libor Sionko gave Petr Rada’s Czech Republic side a 1-0 win at home in Teplice, while the return fixture in Maribor finished goalless.
