Andorra can take some encouragement from their opening UEFA EURO 2016 home game as they play host to Israel in Group B. Match background • Andorra lost both their previous meetings with Israel, David Rodrigo's men suffering a 4-1 away defeat – staged in Nijmegen, the Netherlands – and a 2-0 home loss to Dror Kashtan's side in UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying. • Andorra kicked off Group B with a 2-1 reverse at home to Wales but led for 16 minutes until Gareth Bale cancelled out 's sixth-minute penalty. • They had not scored in their preceding 18 competitive matches – and had not been in front in a competitive fixture since 13 October 2004, when they beat the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 1-0 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier. • The six games between Andorran and Israeli clubs in UEFA competition surprisingly include an Andorran win as well as five Israeli victories; FC Santa Coloma overcame Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC 1-0 in the first leg of a 2007/08 UEFA Cup first qualifying round tie, though they lost the return 4-0. It was the first win by an Andorran team in UEFA club competition. • The nations' sole meeting in UEFA age-group tournaments was a 2-0 success for Israel's Under-18 side in 1999.

5 Andorra - Israel Monday 13 October 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Estadi Nacional, Andorra la Vella Head coach Koldo Alvarez de Eulate Date of birth: 4 September 1970 Nationality: Andorran Playing career: Club Atlético de Madrid, CD Toledo, UD Salamanca, FC Andorra (twice), CF Balaguer Coaching career: Andorra • A reserve goalkeeper at Atlético, Koldo came through the club's youth ranks and lifted the Copa del Rey with the Spanish side in 1991/92. • Leaving the capital in search of first-team football, Koldo played for Toledo before winning promotion to the Spanish second division with Salamanca in 1993/94. • Signed for FC Andorra in the summer of 1994, dividing his time between playing for the club's first team and acting as a youth coach with the national Under-17, U19 and U21 sides. • Capped 79 times by Andorra before his retirement following a 6-0 loss to England at Wembley in June 2009. Named his country's best player of the last 50 years by the Andorran Football Federation (FAF). • Took over as coach of the national team in February 2010 after the departure of David Rodrigo, though his side finished bottom of their qualifying groups for UEFA EURO 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Eli Gutman Date of birth: 24 February 1958 Nationality: Israeli Playing career: Hapoel Haifa FC, Beitar Netanya FC, Maccabi Neve Shanan FC, Maccabi Kiryat Bialik FC Coaching career: Maccabi Kiryat Bialik FC, Beitar Haifa FC, Maccabi Tirat Carmel FC, Maccabi Tamra FC, Hapoel Zafririm Holon FC, Maccabi Herzliya FC, Hapoel Beit Sha'an FC, Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC (twice), Hapoel Haifa FC (twice), Beitar Jerusalem FC, Hapoel Petach-Tikva FC, Enosis Neon Paralimni FC, Maccabi Netanya FC, AEL Limassol FC, Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC • Had a low-key career as a midfielder before hanging up his boots aged 28, moving into coaching with fifth division Maccabi Kiryat Bialik FC. Completed a sports science degree and became a teacher, while also coaching in local soccer after national service as a naval officer. • Gutman's first taste of top-flight football came in 1990 when he spent two years as assistant coach at Maccabi Haifa. Won his first major honour in 1997, leading Hapoel Beer-Sheva to Israeli State Cup success. • Returned to boyhood club Hapoel Haifa in 1997, clinching a league championship two years later. • Indifferent stints at Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Petach-Tikva preceded successful spells with Cypriot sides Paralimni and AEL. Responded to bottom-of-the-table Hapoel Tel-Aviv's rescue call in 2007, steering the team to seventh position and the State Cup final. • A dramatic climax to 2009/10 brought the league and cup double in a three-day period. At the start of the next term, Hapoel emerged through three qualifying rounds to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time. In December 2011, he was appointed Israel coach on a two-year deal, an arrangement that was extended in January 2014 to cover the UEFA EURO 2016 campaign.

EURO finals: The UEFA European Championship was a four-team event in 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976 (when the preliminary round and quarter-finals were considered part of qualifying).

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
