At the European Championship Czech footballers will play against Russia, Greece, and Poland. All matches in the Group A will be played in Wrocław, a Polish town about 300 km far from Prague.

The silver medal was designed by Petr Horák. The obverse side of the medal features a stylized football player in motion, and decor in circumscription. The reverse side shows a logo of the Czech Republic’s Football Association, the decor around the rim connects both
