Six newcomers are part of the Czech national football team nominated by coach Jaroslav Šilhavý for the two European championship qualifiers scheduled to be played in late March.
Striker Patrik Schick and defender Vladimír Coufal have been nominated despite their injuries and it is not yet clear whether they will play. For this reason, Šilhavý nominated 25 players, which is two more than usual.
The Czech team will enter the qualification on March 24 with a home match against Poland, the toughest opponent in the five-team Group E, and will next face Moldova. The first two teams from each group will qualify for the championship, hosted by Germany next year.

The operating profit of car manufacturer Škoda Auto fell by 42 percent to EUR 628 million last year, the parent company Volkswagen announced in its report on Tuesday. At the same time, sales increased by 18.5 percent to 21 billion euros. The drop in profit was caused by the war in Ukraine, but also by higher costs and unfavourable exchange rates.
Škoda Auto employs 45,000 people worldwide. In addition to Czechia, it has plants in China, Slovakia and India, as well as in Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Last year it announced that it was entering the Vietnamese market. In February 2022, Volkswagen Group decided to stop production in Russia and exports to Russia indefinitely due to the invasion of Ukraine.

An increasing number of employees are joining the unions and calling for protest action.
