Cristiano Ronaldo will most likely be among those to play his final international tournament as Portugal begin their Euro 2024 run in Tuesday's tie against Czech Republic at Red Bull Arena.
Having defeated Republic of Ireland 3-0 in their final preparatory game that included a brace from Ronaldo, Roberto Martinez's side enter as one of the title favourites.
On the other hand, the European champions of 1976 will be looking to make it out of Group F, with Turkey and Georgia competing from the same cluster.
