Six S04 players heading on their international travels

In the UEFA Nations League, the final two group stage games are coming up. Alex Král and his Czech teammates will first take on Portugal in Prague (24/9), before facing Switzerland away in St. Gallen (27/9).

The Czech Republic have collected four points from their four Nations League fixtures and, so, still possess a small chance of securing first place in group 2 of the A league. In their group, Spain sit top with eight points, followed by Portugal with seven. Switzerland round off the group with their three points.

Only the four group winners of the A league qualify for the final stage of the Nations League.
