The Czech national team enjoyed a successful campaign in the Nations League, finishing top of their group in Division B and earning a place in the tournament's top flight. The Czechs played Ukraine, Georgia, and Albania in the quartet, picking up 11 points from six matches - 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat, and a goal difference of 9-8.
At their last major tournament, Euro 2024, the Czechs failed to make it out of a group with Portugal, Georgia, and Turkey, picking up just one point and crashing out at that stage.
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands played in Division C of the Nations League. Although they failed to progress, they did not drop out of Division D either, finishing third in a group with North Macedonia, Armenia, and Latvia. There were three draws, one win, two losses, and a goal difference of 5-6 in six matches.
The Faroe Islands are currently 137th in the FIFA world rankings and are coached by Eidun Kalkstein.
