🇨🇿 Czechia

Czechia carry the strong footballing heritage of the former Czechoslovakia. A UEFA side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1780 — 25th of the 48 teams — in Group A.

As Czechoslovakia, World Cup finalists in 1934 and 1962; European runners-up in 1996. Technically sound and organised, with a tradition of quality midfielders and goalkeepers.

Drawn alongside Mexico, South Korea and South Africa, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with Mexico. Our model projects them to finish 3rd in the group and to reach the Round of 32.
