Slovakia has made its mark on the UEFA European Championship three times as an independent nation since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993. Their debut appearance occurred in 2016, followed by subsequent qualifications for the Euro Cup 2020 and the upcoming Euro 2024 tournaments. In the 2016 edition, Slovakia secured direct qualification by finishing second in their qualifying group, earning a spot in Pot 3 for the end-stage draw held on December 12, 2015.

The challenging Group B of UEFA Euro 2016 featured England, Russia, Wales, and Slovakia. Notably, Russia was the only former European champion in the group, having won as the Soviet Union in 1960. This tournament marked the debut of both Wales and Slovakia in the European Championship, with matches played from June 11 to June 20, 2016.

While Slovakia made a promising start in the Euro 2024, their momentum dwindled when they faced the formidable Spain. Despite opening the tournament with a victory against Poland, Stefan Tarkovic's team struggled to maintain their attacking rhythm, and the crucial point needed against Spain on Matchday 3 proved elusive.

Looking ahead to UEFA Euro 2024, Group E is scheduled to unfold from June 17 to June 26, 2024. The group comprises Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, and the winner of the play-offs. This sets the stage for another chapter in Slovakia's European Championship journey, presenting new challenges and opportunities on the football stage.
