FIFA ranking: 36

Coach: Stefan Tarkovic

Having been an assistant coach at the 2016 Euros, Tarkovicwas handed the main role last year after Slovakia sacked Pavel Hapal despite the fact that he led them to the playoff final.

Captain: Marek Hamsik

The midfielder with one of the most recognisable mohawks in the sport, Hamsik is Slovakia’s most-capped player with 126 appearances under his belt. The 33-year-old no longer plays in a top European league having joined Swedish side IFK Gothenburg but the former Napoliman is still capable of running the show in midfield.
