Mark Chapman presents live coverage of the first match in Group E as Romania and Ukraine meet in Munich.

This will be Ukraine鈥檚 first major tournament appearance since the country was invaded by Russia in 2022. Qualification was achieved despite having to play their home games on neutral territory, while squad members who play their club football in Ukraine regularly have their matches interrupted by warnings of air raids. Their overseas-based stars include Arsenal鈥檚 Oleksandr Zinchenko, prolific Girona striker Artem Dovbyk and Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

Romania鈥檚 only win in 16 previous matches at European Championship finals was a 3-2 victory versus England in 2000. That was also the only time they have progressed to the knockout stage.
