The Euro 2024 tournament will see a newcomer to the international stage, Georgia, taking on Turkey in their first Group F game. Georgia earned their spot in the tournament by defeating Greece in a penalty shootout during the play-off final.
Georgia’s boss Willy Sagnol, a former player for Bayern Munich, has led his team through this major international milestone with determination and spirit. According to Sagnol, Georgia will give everything they have in each match, whether it’s against Portugal or Czech Republic. Despite being seen as a wildcard entry in the tournament, Georgia is ready to compete with full commitment and dedication.
On the other hand, Turkey is aiming to improve on their past two tournaments where they failed to qualify from the group stages. Vincenzo Montella, Turkey’s manager, emphasized the importance of winning matches from the start and making their fans proud by playing with passion and courage. Although some absences due to injuries may impact Turkey’s squad strength, they are focused on utilizing the talent and experience within their squad.
