Greece’s football team has shown significant improvement over the past 18 months, making them a hopeful candidate for qualification in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. They are set to face Slovakia in a crucial match this week.
Kick-off details indicate that the match will not be televised or available for streaming in the UK or US, making it a challenge for fans wanting to watch live.
The Greek national team enters this matchup with confidence, having recently completed an outstanding 2024/25 UEFA Nations League campaign. Notably, they celebrated a remarkable 2-1 victory against England at Wembley Stadium and achieved promotion to League A through the playoffs, emphatically reversing a previous loss to Scotland with a commanding 3-0 win in the second leg.
On the other hand, Slovakia, guided by Francesco Calzona, former assistant to Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, has been working on an appealing style of football. However, they have faced setbacks, recently being eliminated by Slovenia in their UEFA Nations League playoff, leaving them in League C.
As both teams prepare for their qualifiers later in the week, Greece appears to be in stronger form and is seen as the favorite to secure a win against Slovakia. This optimism is bolstered by their recent performances, suggesting a promising future for the Greek squad as they pursue World Cup qualifications.
