Slovak footballers are two steps away from qualifying for the World Cup finals for the first time in 16 years. The national team has not appeared at a World Cup since the 2010 tournament in South Africa, where they reached the round of 16 in their debut appearance. The current qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, represents Slovakia's best chance in over a decade to return to football's biggest stage. Slovakia defender David Hancko has warned his teammates about the threat posed by opposing striker Muriqi, suggesting upcoming crucial matches will determine whether the team can end their long World Cup absence.
