Women's European Championship: Schroffenegger & Co. with outsider chances

The 2017 Women's European Football Championship will be the twelfth European continental championship in women's football. The games will take place from July 16th to August 6th in the Netherlands. 16 nations will fight for the trophy from Sunday.

Between the posts for Italy is Katja Schroffeneger from Karneid, who has to fight for a regular place with two other goalkeepers (Laura Giuliani and Chiara Marchitelli). Team boss Antonio Cabrini will only decide at short notice who will ultimately be used at the European Championships. Schroffenegger, who is currently guarding the goal for Unterland Damen, is hoping for a permanent place.

The “Azzurre” team definitely got into a difficult group with Germany, Sweden and Russia. Germany and Sweden are the two finalists in last year's Olympic tournament. The German team also enters the race as defending champions and record holders (8 European Championship titles). In the first group game on Monday (18 p.m.) Italy will face Russia (number 25 in the world rankings). Italy is currently ranked 18th in the world rankings. Only the first two teams in each preliminary group advance to the quarter-finals.

The 4 groups of the preliminary round of the 2017 European Women's Football Championship:

Group A Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium

Group B Germany, Sweden, Italy , Russia

Group C France, Iceland, Austria, Switzerland
