Match preview

This was a memorable march for Greece's youth squad, as he first earned promotion to League AK League A, winning 3–0 at Hampden Park in a major performance and ending a 1-0 domestic defeat in Scotland.

This was the second time in six months when Greece visited the British Islands and left with a famous victory, as he also won against England during a group stage campaign in League B.

Ivan JovnovicThe men were very unfortunate not to automatically go up, taking a potential 18 to 15 points, but England took them to the top position at the goal margin, so Greece had to take a beautiful route through the playoffs.

With an action on the horizon with the league when the UNL is running again in 2026-27, Greece should provide a great opportunity to reach the Euro 2028, with a guaranteed playoff spot to fall back.

Although the qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is on the first agenda, and the Greek team will be keen to avenge the extremely disappointing defeat against Georgia in the Euro 2024 playoffs, which extended their non-useful streak in six tournaments.

The Greece will renew acquaintances with Scotland in qualifying for the World Cup, while also facing Denmark, a wide-fasting group that is difficult to call, but will provide one of the non-unconvinced nations with a berth in the final.

Preparations with a friendly against Slovakia begins here, which will begin to qualify in September when they move from head to head with Germany, Northern Ireland and Luxembourg.

A playoff place seems to be their best condition, only the winners of the group are assured of a place in the finals, but after taking out Luxembourg in the Euro 2024 qualifying, Falcons will be assured to eliminate the other.

Francesco calzonaIn the last 16, excluding England from Euro 2024 was only men to men, but the destructive additional time defeat should motivate them to reach another major tournament, which will be their first World Cup since 2010.

Visitors enter this international window behind a disappointing playoffs against Slovenia in March, although additional time defeat means that they will stay in League C for the next version of the Nations League.

Calzona's side stood second behind Sweden in only a very difficult group, given that it was in the third level, despite taking a potential 18 to 13 points, so the performance has been there, but they have just a shortage of luck.
