The Portugal national football team will start the race for the European Championship 2024 on March 23, 2023, at 19:45, with the reception in Liechtenstein, in the first round of Group J qualifying.
In a journey that lasts until November 19, also with a match on Portuguese soil, against Iceland, the team ‘quinas’, which has not missed an edition since 1996, will play its first away game in Luxembourg on March 26, 2023.

In the 2023/24 season, Portugal will play two games in September, on the 8th, in Slovakia, and on the 11th, at home, with Luxembourg, and the same number in October, hosting the Slovaks, on 13, and visiting Bosnia. Herzegovina, on 16.
Qualifying concludes with two games in November, with the ‘quinas’ team traveling to Luxembourg in 16 years for the Icelanders’ reception.

The Portuguese national football team missed the first six final stages (1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976 and 1980) and, after its debut in 1984, also those in 1988 and 1992, but it has been ever-present since 1996, as a finalist in 2004 and champion in 2016.
