- Georgia and Czech Republic meet for the first time. Czechs have won five of their last six matches when facing a national team for the first time. The only defeat was against Kosovo (1-2), September 2019.
- Georgia lost their first match at EURO 2024, against Türkiye. Since the group stage was introduced, only two teams have lost their first match of the tournament and still qualified for the knockout stages: Slovakia and Northern Ireland, both in 2016.
- After defeating Switzerland in the opening match of EURO 2008, the Czech Republic have lost 7 of their last 12 group stage matches (W3 D2).
- The Czech Republic only made 169 accurate passes against Portugal, the lowest number for a team in the opening match of the EURO 2024 group stage. The Czech Republic only made 8 touches in the opponent's penalty area, the third lowest in the first match, only bettered by Scotland (2) and Albania (7).
- Georgia had 14 shots in their 1-3 defeat to Türkiye in the opening round of EURO 2024. This is the highest number of shots by a team making their European Championship debut since Austria in 2008, with 20 shots against Croatia.
- In the match against Türkiye, Georges Mikautadze scored the first goal in Georgia's history at a major international tournament (EURO and World Cup). The last player to score in both of his first two matches for his country was Gareth Bale, at EURO 2016 against Wales.
- No player made more defensive headers than Vladimir Coufal in the first round of EURO 2024. The Czech right-back (now playing for West Ham) had five defensive headers, level with Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands) and Radu Dragusin (Romania).
