Denmark Qualify for World Cup — Beat Czechia in Prague to Join Group A

| World Cup 2026

Denmark secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a victory over the Czech Republic in Prague's EPET ARENA (Path D Final), joining Group A alongside Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea. Denmark were heavy favorites, having thrashed North Macedonia 4–0 in the semi-final. The Czech Republic — who had survived a dramatic 4–2 penalty shootout against Ireland in their semi — could not overcome Denmark's quality across the full 90 minutes. Denmark's World Cup return adds a significant European presence to Group A, raising the competition stakes for Mexico's opening match at Estadio Azteca on June 11.
