This is Czechia's first World Cup in exactly 20 years โ a return earned through one of the most dramatic qualification campaigns in European football history. They didn't cruise through. They overturned a 2-0 deficit against the Republic of Ireland to reach penalties in the playoff semi-final, then beat Denmark in another penalty shootout in the final. Two shootouts. Both won. That kind of nerve under pressure doesn't come from nowhere โ it tells you exactly what kind of team Koubek has built.
Head coach Miroslav Koubek, at 74, is the oldest manager at the entire 2026 tournament. He took over in December 2025 and his first two games in charge were those playoff matches. Thrown straight into the deep end โ and he delivered. Patrik Schick leads the attack, with 25 goals in 52 appearances for his country and a Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen in 2024 under his belt. West Ham's Tomรกลก Souฤek remains a pivotal player in central midfield โ one of the most consistent and underrated midfielders in the Premier League for several years. Ten players come from reigning Czech champions Slavia Prague, giving the squad a collective understanding that more dispersed squads sometimes lack.
Group A โ Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, Czechia โ sets up as a genuine four-way contest, and Czechia are the team nobody quite knows how to read. They are the only team in Group A that chose not to base themselves in Mexico, picking Dallas instead โ meaning they face more travel than their opponents across the group stage. It's an unusual call. Their opener against South Korea on June 11 in Las Vegas is the match that defines their tournament โ win that and everything opens up. Their final game is against Mexico at the Azteca, which is as tough a closer as any team faces in this tournament.
Anything could happen in Group A. That's not a clichรฉ โ it's genuinely how this group is set up. And Czechia, a team that won two penalty shootouts just to get here, are exactly the kind of side you don't want to underestimate.
