Greek national football team begins preparation for Nations League matches

The Greek national football team gathered on Monday, November 9, 2026, to begin preparations for their final two UEFA Nations League matches in League A. The squad is scheduled to face the Netherlands in Amsterdam on November 13 and Serbia at the Panthessaliko Stadium on November 16.

Head coach Ivan Jovanovic welcomed the players at the first gathering, which was marked by the notable return of captain Tasos Bakasetas. Bakasetas, who missed the first four matches of the tournament, earned his recall following strong performances for APOEL, where he scored five goals in eight matches. Other players joining the camp included Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Panagiotis Retsos, Charalampos Kostoulas, and Andreas Tetei. The session also featured positive interactions between teammates, such as the meeting between Bakasetas and Borussia Dortmund player Konstantinos Karetsas, as well as Fotis Ioannidis and Dimitris Giannoulis.

This training camp marks the final phase of the group stage, with the Greek squad focusing on achieving positive results in these high-stakes encounters. The team will continue its preparation in the coming days before traveling to Amsterdam for the first of the two scheduled fixtures.
