Czech Republic (Ondřej Zlámal, @UEFAcomOndrejZ)
The squad are travelling on a high-speed train journey from Prague to their base camp in Wroclaw. The special five-carriage train was prepared by Czech Railways with its locomotive decorated in national colours. It is not a common travelling experience for most footballers. "I don't even remember the last time I caught a train," defender Theodor Gebre Selassie told UEFA.com. "It could be when I was small and went to visit my grandfather. It's certainly more convenient than going by bus. I hope a lot of our fans will follow the same tracks to come and support us in a few days."
Czech Railways will also dispatch specialised trains for supporters who come to cheer on their team in Group A with each named after a famous former player.
