A huge night of World Cup qualification action has arrived with eight European nations battling to secure four spots at this summer’s showpiece in North America.
After successfully winning their play-off semi-final ties – some in more dramatic fashion than others – Bosnia-Herzegovina, Czechia, Denmark, Italy, Kosovo, Poland, Sweden and and Turkey are all one win away from qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Only four teams will progress and, arguably, no nation is under more pressure than the Azzurri given they have missed out on the last two tournaments.
The winners of this tie will join Canada, Qatar and Switzerland in Group B, facing one of the tournament hosts in their opening game in Toronto on June 12.
Elsewhere, Czechia – who knocked out the Republic of Ireland on penalties – face Denmark in an intriguing showdown where the winners will advance to Group A alongside Mexico, South Africa and South Korea.
Turkiye, often billed as a tournament dark-horse, will be expected to beat Kosovo away from home and the reward will be a place in Group D with the United States, Paraguay and Australia.
