Tuesday night marked the final round of fixtures before the competition takes a break and resumes in early September

The summer phase of the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2026 has officially drawn to a close. Tuesday night marked the final round of fixtures before the competition takes a break and resumes in early September.

Currently, the qualifying campaign features groups of five teams, battling it out for a direct ticket to the tournament. In September, the spotlight will shift to the groups containing only four nations, including Group D—where Ukraine is set to face off against powerhouses France, Azerbaijan, and Iceland.

Tuesday Night Highlights: Six Key Matches Across Europe

Tonight saw six crucial encounters unfold across three different groups, each carrying significant weight in the race to World Cup 2026.

Group G: Poland Eyes Perfect Record

Poland, led by head coach Michał Probierz, are on a flawless run and aim to extend their lead as they travel to face Finland in Helsinki. Elsewhere in the group, Netherlands host Malta in what is expected to be a one-sided affair in Amsterdam, with Ronald Koeman's side eager to tighten their grip on second place.

Group H: Romania in Must-Win Mode

It’s crunch time for Romania. After suffering two defeats in their opening three matches, head coach Edward Iordănescu will demand a response from his squad as they welcome struggling Cyprus in Bucharest. Meanwhile, San Marino will be up against a technically superior Austria side, managed by Ralf Rangnick, who are heavy favourites to claim all three points.

Group K: Serbia Aim to Stay Sharp

In Group K, Latvia take on an ambitious Albania team, while Serbia—who continue to build momentum under manager Dragan Stojković—are set to face Andorra in Belgrade. The Serbs are keen to keep the pressure on at the top of the table.
