🚨 Shock exit: this European nation already out of the World Cup 😱

Nice air conditioning.

Denmark, Greece, Scotland, Belarus. This Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers was arguably the most open and undecided of all in Europe.

But this Sunday evening, with two matches left in these qualifiers, the two nations already eliminated from the race to the World Cup are officially known!

In addition to Belarus, Greece will not play in the next World Cup, it’s official!

After their 3-1 defeat in Denmark this Sunday evening and with three points on the board, the Greeks are seven points behind Denmark and Scotland and can no longer break into the top 2.

The Danes and the Scots are guaranteed to play, at minimum, the qualifying playoff in a few months.

The two countries will battle for first place in the group (meaning direct qualification) during the next international break in November.

Touted as the dark horse in this Group C and led by high-quality players such as Vangelis Pavlidis, Christos Tzolis, Konstantinos Karetsas, and Kostas Tsimikas, Greece will once again miss a major international tournament.

The national team’s last World Cup appearance dates back to 2014, and their last Euros was in 2012.
