During Thursday, they ran into the championship model. Before noon, the Czech footballers trained in Strahov for the first time in preparation for the European Championships, where they will have a base during the tournament. Petr Fousek, the new chairman of the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FACR), also came to see the team. He confirmed that the Czechs will demand compensation from UEFA for the cancellation of the camp in Scotland. You can listen in the attached video.

Everything is different in the end. The team was originally supposed to live in Edinburgh, but due to tough measures by the Scottish authorities against coronavirus, it will train in Prague and fly to the matches.
“Prague has its advantages. Of course, travel is logistically inconvenient. On the other hand, home is home. I believe that we will turn the disadvantage into an advantage and we will be able to prepare it to help us. Other unions have also chosen the variant that they will have a base camp on home soil and will fly to the match. From our side, everything is ready, all that remains is to play, “says Petr Fousek.

However, it is always about the money in the first place … The costs of canceling the camp in Scotland and flying to the matches will be covered by the UEFA organizer.
“We do not have an exact calculation, but I will discuss it with UEFA. The matter was born during the previous leadership at the end of May. We are in office for a short time, we also have other priorities that we have to address in connection with the EURO. But in the final, it will turn out so that we don’t lose on the change of camp, “advises Fousek.
