What’s happening at Androva Stadium?

Czechia trains in Olomouc ahead of the Montenegro match scheduled for September 26, 2026. During the July session, players focused on quick transitions and finishing drills. Patrik Schick was captured in the middle of the drill, indicating the striker is ready to take on the primary scoring role. The side currently sits at 4th in FIFA World Cup 2026, 1 pts, 0W-1D-2L from 3 games, recent form LDL and is looking to reverse a shaky start.

Why does this training matter?

Olomouc offers a calm setting for the national side to work on tactical tweaks after an unsatisfactory 1‑0 win over San Marino on 2025‑11‑13. Interim coach Marek Hamšík stressed the need to tighten defensive stability, as the squad has 2 scored, 6 conceded (-4 goal difference) so far. Montenegro’s lack of a manager also shifts the preparation dynamics, potentially giving Czechia more control over the game.

What does the current standing imply?

Being 8 points behind leaders Mexico in the title race shows every point matters. The recent form – 1W-1D-0L (WD, most recent first) – suggests the team can adapt quickly. Securing at least a point in Olomouc could push them higher and narrow the gap to the leaders.

What’s next for Czechia?

After the Olomouc session, Czechia gears up for the next fixture against Croatia at home on September 26, 2026. This match is pivotal for progression, as the outcome may decide advancement to later stages. Fans will watch to see if Schick can deliver and whether the defence can curb the opponent’s attacks.
