Greece secures top-tier position for Euro 2028 qualifying draw

Following a goalless draw against Germany at the Toumba Stadium, the Greek national football team has officially secured its place in Pot 1 for the upcoming Euro 2028 qualifying draw, scheduled for December. This placement ensures that Greece will avoid facing other top-seeded teams during the qualification phase for the European Championship.

In addition to the Euro 2028 preparations, Greece remains in a strong position within the UEFA Nations League, maintaining the possibility of advancing to the quarterfinals. According to UEFA circular No. 04/2026, all federations participating in League A that meet the stadium requirements are mandated to submit a bid to host the Nations League Final Four. As the Greek Football Federation (EPO) meets the necessary infrastructure criteria, a potential advancement to the quarterfinals could effectively trigger the process for Greece to host the final tournament.

The team, currently managed by Ivan Jovanovic, continues its successful run in League A, positioning itself as a serious contender. The final standings and the full list of qualified teams for the upcoming draws will be finalized following the conclusion of the remaining group stage matches.
