Poland

Manager	Michal Probierz
Captain	Robert Lewandowski
FIFA ranking	28th
UEFA ranking	16th
Top scorer in qualifying	Robert Lewandowski (3)
Route to the finals	Play-off winner Path A
Previous best	Quarter-finals (2016)

Having never qualified for any European Championship finals until 2008, Poland have now made it five successive tournament appearances thanks to their shootout victory over Wales in the play-offs.

They join a heavyweight Group D in doing so, and therefore won’t be expected to reach the last 16 – something they have failed to do in three of their four previous attempts.

But with Robert Lewandowski spearheading his side for what is likely his final Euros campaign, they may yet cause a surprise or two.

Their run to the quarter-finals in 2016 remains their best performance to date, so it will be a tournament to remember if they get anywhere near that this time around.

Top scorer in qualifying	Cody Gakpo, Calvin Stengs, Wout Weghorst (3)
Route to the finals	Group B runners-up, 18 points
Previous best	Winners (1988)

It is now 20 years since the Netherlands last reached the semi-finals of the European Championship, with several disappointments for the Oranje since then. They were knocked out in the quarter-finals at Euro 2008 and failed to make it past the group stages in 2012. Failure to qualify for Euro 2016 was a real shock, and they only managed to reach the round of 16 last time out.

However, with Ronald Koeman now back for a second stint in charge and preparing for his first European Championship campaign as manager, hopes could be higher for the Netherlands. Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is the standout name in the squad, but they also have some exciting youngsters in their ranks, including Jeremie Frimpong and Xavi Simons.

Unfortunately, they will have to make do without star midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who has been forced to pull out due to injury.

Austria

Manager	Ralf Rangnick
Captain	Marcel Sabitzer
FIFA ranking	25th
UEFA ranking	13th
Top scorer in qualifying	Marcel Sabitzer (4)
Route to the finals	Group F runners-up, 19 points
Previous best	Round of 16 (2020)

After previously failing to qualify for the tournament prior to 2008 (when they took part as co-hosts), Austria are now gearing up for their fourth European Championship campaign out of a possible five. Former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is the man tasked with looking to take Das Team out of Group D.

Sat 8th June	Switzerland 1-1 Austria

In qualifying, Austria conceded less than a goal a game and held Belgium to an away draw, while they also recorded a statement friendly win over Germany at the end of 2023. Their results this calendar year have also been impressive, namely a 6-1 thumping of Turkey in March. In fact, since November 2022, they have only lost once – to Belgium eight months ago.

Marcel Sabitzer, Konrad Laimer and forward Marko Arnautovic are some of the more well-known names in the squad, so they could hold the key to Austria getting out of the group – but they’ll have to do so without injured talisman David Alaba.

France

Manager	Didier Deschamps
Captain	Kylian Mbappe
FIFA ranking	2nd
UEFA ranking	1st
Top scorer in qualifying	Kylian Mbappe (9)
Route to the finals	Group B winners, 22 points
Previous best	Winners x2 (1984, 2000)

France have arguably been the most dominant country at recent major tournaments, reaching the European Championship final back in 2016, winning the World Cup in 2018 and again finding themselves in the World Cup final in 2022.

However, it is now more than 20 years since Les Bleus last won the Euros, and the man who lifted the Henri Delaunay trophy in Rotterdam was manager Didier Deschamps. He’s preparing for his sixth major tournament in charge of his country and has a plethora of talent to pick from.

Superstar Kylian Mbappe will surely be key to France’s pursuit of the title, and they also have a number of experienced heads to call upon, such as Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann.
