One single point is enough for us to advance. If you had said before the start of the matches in the J-group of the Euro 2024 qualifiers that Slovakia would be in this situation before today’s penultimate match with Iceland, which kicks off at 8:45 p.m., many would probably be tapping their foreheads. The reality is, however, that the celebrations at Tehelno polí will break out even in the event of a draw.

The Slovak national team is on the threshold of extraordinary success. Two rounds before the end of the qualification, she needs only one point to seal her progress to Euro 2024 in Germany. Coach Francesco Calzona’s players have a unique chance to do so tonight at Tehelno polí in a match against Iceland. If it didn’t work out, she would have a second chance to do so on Sunday, November 19, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The J-group chart speaks volumes. Portugal is already a certain participant in Euro 2024. Slovakia is in second place with a 5-point lead over Luxembourg. When the Slovakian players drew at home with the Luxembourgers to qualify for the European Championship 2024, a wave of criticism came down on Calzon’s head after the 0:0 draw. The situation in the group finally developed in such a way that, unexpectedly, the Slovakians and the Luxembourgers, as teams that were in the fifth and the fourth performance basket, they are fighting two rounds before its end for the second promotion place.
The match between Slovakia and Iceland kicks off on Thursday at 20:45. The match at Bratislava’s National Football Stadium will be sold out and more than 21,000 spectators will be pushing the Slovaks forward. It will be led by referees from England, led by chief Craig Pawson, assisted on the lines by Simon Bennett and Lee Betts.
It will be broadcast live by RTVS on the sports channel. The football evening will start at 20:15 with a studio with moderator Ľuboš Hlaven, who will welcome guests Ladislav Borbély and Petr Ďuriš. Commentator Marcel Merčiak and co-commentator Marián Zeman will accompany the audience through the match itself.
If the goal is met, Slovakia will appear at the EC for the third time in a row. In 2016 in France, it made it to the round of 16, at the European Championship 2020 it took the non-progressive third place behind Sweden and Spain in the basic group. It would be the fourth participation of Slovak footballers in a major tournament. In 2010, they started at the World Cup in South Africa, where they advanced to the round of 16.
