2026 FIFA World Cup

In Group G of the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, Poland hosted Lithuania and claimed a narrow victory. The only goal of the match arrived late in regulation time, courtesy of Robert Lewandowski—the FC Barcelona striker and talisman of the Polish national team. With this result, Poland snapped a five-match winless run across all competitions.

In addition to Poland and Lithuania, Group G features Finland and Malta. The side that loses the playoff between Spain and the Netherlands will also join this group, making it even more competitive.
