World Champions Italy have been drawn in the same group as France and Holland for the European Championship finals next summer in Austria and Switzerland. The draw is based on European qualifying so the Italians will play France in a repeat of the World Cup final in the last Group C game.
Switzerland will play the Czech Republic in the opening match of the tournament on 7 June.
Reigning champions Greece will play Sweden, Spain and Russia in Group D.
France coach Raymond Domenech had complained of the seeding system before the draw and he will now have a tough task to get through to the knock-out stages.
Group C also features Romania who qualified ahead of the Holland.
