► Romania – Ukraine at 3 p.m.
For the first match of Group E, Romania faces its Ukrainian neighbor. Zbirna (the Ukrainian selection) qualified for the Euro with difficulty, mishandled in a group which included England and Italy. It was finally through the play-offs that she won her ticket to the competition in Germany. Its presence in the competition (from which Russia was banned) is obviously a source of pride for the country at war for more than two years.

Conversely, Romania did not lose a match during Euro qualifying, posting 6 wins and 4 draws. She even had the luxury of finishing first in her group, ahead of Switzerland. On the other hand, it shone less during the preparatory friendly matches, with a disappointing 0-0 against the modest Lichtenstein team.
► Belgium – Slovakia at 6 p.m.
The second match of the day will pit Belgium and Slovakia against each other from 6 p.m. Favorite of Group E, Belgium enters the competition with a desire for redemption. The Red Devils had indeed failed in the group stage during the last World Cup, in 2022 in Qatar.
► France – Austria at 9 p.m.
France will enter the competition against Austria, from 9 p.m., in Group D (where the Netherlands beat Poland 2-1, Sunday June 16).
Euro 2024: the Blues less and less cautious about political news
Caught in the turbulence of the electoral campaign, Kylian Mbappé and his partners will be keen to start the competition well to forget the failure of the last Euro. In 2021, the Blues were eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland. The worst failure of the “Deschamps gang”.
