Portugal vs. Liechtenstein: what’s next
Portugal will face off at home against its Liechtenstein counterpart in a duel valid for the first date of the Euro 2024 Qualifiers. The José Alvalade stadium is the scene of the engagement of the two teams that this year will try to start off on the right foot right, with a view to obtaining a place in the main European competition for nations.
The most recent memory of the Portuguese team is their participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where they finished in eighth place, after being eliminated in the quarterfinals at the hands of the surprise Morocco, which culminated in fourth place after succumbing to Croatia.
