Czech Republic and Turkey at the UEFA European Championship
Despite having never won the UEFA European Championship, Czechia boasts considerable pedigree at this tournament based on historical performances.
Appearing at a Euro finals tournament for the first time as the Czech Republic national team, they defied the odds by advancing to the final in 1996, overcoming heavyweights Portugal and France along the way.
Czech Republic ultimately came runners-up to Germany, whom they had also shared a group with.
In 2004 the Czechs picked up maximum points in the group stage, beating both Germany and the Netherlands in the process.
Czechia then swept aside Denmark in the quarter-finals, 3-0, before losing to eventual champions Greece in the semi-finals.
Czech Republic also made it to the quarter-finals at Euro 2012 and again at the delayed 2020 event.
In comparison, Turkey haven’t achieved a great deal at the UEFA Euro finals. The 2024 tournament will be just the sixth edition in which Ay-Yıldızlılar participates.
The southeastern European nation progressed beyond the last-eight for the first time in 2008, but subsequently exited to eventual runners-up Germany in the semi-finals.
Czech Republic vs Turkey Head-to-Head
Following the split of Czechoslovakia into two independent nations, the Czech Republic national team played its first international fixture in 1994.
Czech Republic and Turkey have met a total 11 times prior to Euro 2024, mostly in international friendlies.
They have, however, shared a group at the Euro finals, at the 2008 and 2016 events.
Arda Turan was amongst the goalscorers as Turkey won 3-2 on their way to reaching the semi-finals at Euro 2008.
Eight years later Burak Yilmaz was on the scoresheet as Turkey claimed a 2-0 win, though this time neither team managed to advance from the groups.
