The UEFA European Women’s Championship kicks off next week in the Netherlands, and three members of Portland Thorns FC will be vying with their respective teams for their first ever EURO title.
Nadia Nadim and Denmark will begin tournament play when they face Belgium in Doetinchem on July 16, while Amandine Henry and Dagný Brynjarsdóttir face off on July 18, when France takes on Iceland in Tilburg. 2017 will mark Nadim and Henry's third EURO tournament (2009, 2013) and Dagny's second (2013).
Iceland and France were each eliminated in the 2013 quarterfinals–France, via PK shootout with Denmark–while Nadim’s Denmark fell to Norway in the next round, also via PK shootout.
