The UEFA Nations League saw significant action as France secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Belgium thanks to a late stunner from Michael Olise. Italy also bounced back with a commanding 4-1 win against Turkey, signaling a strong performance under their new coaching setup. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland maintained their unbeaten start in the competition with a goalless draw against Hungary, a result manager Michael O'Neill described as positive.
Looking ahead, the Czech Republic is set to face England at Wembley, a venue holding significant historical weight for the team, marking their return approximately 30 years after their Euro '96 final appearance. Other upcoming fixtures include Spain hosting Croatia and Brazil facing Australia in continuation of their squad rebuilding efforts.
