In 2021, Switzerland was one of the surprises of the competition. The Nati reached the quarter-finals, eliminating the French world champions on penalties in the round of 16. To hope for a similar journey this year, the Swiss would be inspired to start their competition with a victory, as they challenge Hungary in Cologne, Saturday June 15, at 3 p.m.
At the end of the afternoon (6 p.m.), two world football juggernauts will face off in Berlin. World champion in 2010, Spain will face Croatia, finalist of the 2018 World Cup and still third during the following edition, in 2022. La Roja – also European champion in 2008 and 2012 – did not the right to make mistakes, especially since it was placed in a higher group B, also including Italy.
The Squadra Azzurra also begins its tournament this Saturday, at 9 p.m., against Albania, in Dortmund. Gianluigi Donnarumma and his teammates are among the favorites, even if they failed to qualify for the last World Cup. Above all, they will try to retain their title, won hard against England in 2021.
