2026 World Cup: Italy relieved, Gyökeres immense, Kosovo upset

The four finals are now known!


This Thursday evening, the eight European semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup qualifying playoffs took place.

Check out all the results and the four finals that will be played on Tuesday night!


Italy will play in their final!​


Italy can breathe... until Tuesday night!

The four-time world champions, who have not played in a World Cup since 2014, secured a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland thanks to goals from Sandro Tonali and Moise Kean.

Gennaro Gattuso's men will face Wales or Bosnia & Herzegovina. The match is in extra time!




Gyökeres carries Sweden, showdown with Lewandowski coming up​


Sweden can thank Viktor Gyökeres! The Arsenal striker scored a hat-trick against Ukraine (3-1). Three precious goals that send the Swedes through to the final stage, against... Poland!

Robert Lewandowski, who also got on the scoresheet, and his teammates had a scare but won 2-1 against Albania.




Denmark in control​


Denmark cruised to a 4-0 win over North Macedonia.

The Euro 2021 semi-finalists will face the Czech Republic or Ireland in the final. The match is in extra time, even though Ireland were leading 2-0...




Kosovo's incredible feat!​


Türkiye beat Romania 1-0 earlier in the evening thanks to a goal from Ferdi Kadıoğlu.

Arda Güler and his teammates will therefore play for a place at the World Cup this Tuesday night, in the final, against Kosovo, incredible 4-3 winners in Slovakia!




The 4 finals​


Wales or Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Italy

Czech Republic or Ireland vs Denmark

Sweden vs Poland

Kosovo vs Türkiye


As a reminder, the winners of these four matches will play in the World Cup next June!
