Key Players
Key Player
The Czech's on paper have a much weaker side than in previous years but one name that has remained a constant is their captian, Petr Cech. The veteran keeper will have to be in top form to see Czech Republic do well at these championships and the Arsenal man has rolled back the years at times this season at Arsenal to suggest he is still one of the best keepers in Europe. The Czech's have been conceding goals in qualifying and Cech will need to be at his best to ensure his side progess from a well contested group in France.
Goal Scorer
A lack of a world class striker may prove to be Czech Republic's undoing. They distribute goals around their squad and a lot of their goals come from defenders up for set pieces. Midfielder Borek Dockal finished the Euro Qualifiersas the country's leading goalscorer with five goals. The Slavia Praha man has scored six goals in 23 appearances for his country and will be looking to add to his tally atEuro 2016
One To Watch Out For
Vladimir Darida played every game for Czech Republic in qualifying and will be an integral part of their team atEuro 2016. A few good performances and he may well be on the move from current club Hertha BSC to a much bigger European side. The 25 year-old may be small in size, but he is a big player for the Czech's and he will be looking to improve after making his debut for the side at Euro 2012.
Young Starlet
When you have booked your Czech Republic Euro 2016 tickets look out for young 1899 Hoffenhiem defender Pavel Kadeřábek. Kadeřábek is an accomplished defender but also has an eye for goal.
His club form this season has been excellent and Czech fans might just back the young defender to pick up a goal or two at the European Championships in the summer. The defender is a threat from set-pieces and his two goals in qualifying illustrate his danger.## Czech Republic Euro 2016 Fixtures

Spain v Czech Republic
The Czechs topped qualifying group ahead of Turkey and Iceland and will be feeling confident in their chances. However they could not have picked a tougher start when they face theEuro 2008 and Euro 2012 winners Spain in Toulouse.
However, occasionally Spain have started slowly at big tournaments and grown into it as the games progress. The Czech's will be looking to take full advantage of this and definitely have the ability to capitalise on a sluggish start by the Spaniards. The Czech Republic have never beaten La Rojain their four previous meetings, losing three and drawing one. You can book

These two sides also met atEuro 2008 in a five goal thriller as Fatih Terim's Turkey ran out 3-2 winners to advance to the Quarter-Finals. The Czech's were two nil up on the night only for Turkey to seal a dramatic comeback with two late goals from Nihat Kahveci. Czech Republic will be hoping a repeat ofEuro 2008 doesn't happen this time around, and it is Pavel Vrba's side who progress at Euro 2016. You can book from Football Ticket Pad.
Road To Euro 2016
The Czech Republic were expected to qualify from Group A but few could have predicted the manner in which they did. In a tough group the Netherlands came unstuck and in a disasterous qualifying campaign they slumped to a 4th place finished. This opened the door for the Czech Republic, who did eventually topped the group, although they left it late to overtake Iceland.
The Czech's finished the group with 22 points, although their +5 goal difference reflects that they made tough work of finishing top. In the 10 group games they shipped 14 goals and so they will have to tighten up at the back if they are to make an impact at Euro 2016.
Pavel Vrba's side won seven of their ten games, drawing one and losing two.Czech Republic got off to the perfect start in the first round of fixtures beating the Netherlands 2-1 thanks to a stoppage-time strike from Vaclav Pilar. They then beat Turkey by the same scoreline before beating Kazakhstan 4-2 to maintain their 100% record.
A 2-1 victory against Iceland followed for the Czech's, until they dropped their first points in the fifth round of ties to draw 1-1 to Latvia when Vaclav Pilar scored another last minute goal to salvage a point. Czech Republic then had their biggest slip when they lost 2-1 to Kazakhstan in Plzen.
Another 2-1 victory followed against Latvia beforePavel Vrba's side lost their second game in qualifying against Turkey, losing 2-0. However, in the final round of fixtures, Czech Republic sealed a memorable 3-2 victory over Netherlands after a late Robin Van Persie own goal added to earlier strikes from Pavel Kaderabekand Josef Sural.
