Euro 2008 Groups Drawn


Italy, World Cup Winners 2006
Italy, drawn against France, Netherlands and Romania

The groups have been drawn for the 2008 European Football Championships to be held between Switzerland and Austria next June. They are as follows

Group A

  • Switzerland (Co-Host)
  • Czech Republic
  • Portugal
  • Turkey

Group B

  • Austria
  • Croatia
  • Germany
  • Poland

Group C

  • Netherlands
  • Italy
  • Romania
  • France

Group D

  • Greece
  • Sweden
  • Spain
  • Russia

From the draw it’s obvious (to me anyway) that all eyes will be on group C with three of Europe’s heavyweights in reigning World Champions Italy, France and Netherlands all pitted against one another.

The competition kicks off on June 7th with Switzerland taking on Czech Republic in Group A at St. Jakob-Park stadium in Basel. The final will be held in the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna on June 30th.
