France & Ukraine Amongst Teams Competing Today

Jun 17 2024

Kylian Mbappe is set to lead the French team on a charge against the Austrian team today at 21:00 in Dusseldorf.

There’s still hope from the Austrian’s however, with midfielder Christoph Baumgartner anticipating the match and their opening opponents as the toughest team they could have faced in an opening game.

“But I believe that if we get off to a good start, if we do what we’ve been doing over the last few weeks and months, then anything is possible in this match. But, of course, we have to play at the top of our game – there’s no question about that – if we want to have a real chance of competing.”

The afternoon and evening of matches is set to start off with Romania vs Ukraine kicking off Group E in Munich. This is the first ever competitive meeting of these two countries, having only faced each other in friendlies.

Before the France-Austria match, Frankfurt is set to see Belgium playing against Slovakia for Group E as well.
