Line-up of the Netherlands–Kazakhstan teams prior to the match

The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group A was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.[1] Group A consisted of six teams: Netherlands, Czech Republic, Turkey, Latvia, Iceland, and Kazakhstan,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[3]

The top two teams would qualify directly for the finals. The third-placed team would qualify directly too if they had the best records among the third-placed teams of all qualifying groups, otherwise they would enter the play-offs for another chance to qualify.

Czech Republic and Iceland qualified for the finals as the group winners and runners-up respectively. Third-placed Turkey qualified too, as they were the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams.
