Netherlands and Greece confirm Pot 1 status for Euro 2028 qualifiers

The Netherlands and Greece secured their spots in Pot 1 for the Euro 2028 qualifiers, confirmed over the weekend. This ensures that Arsenal players Jurrien Timber and Christos Tzolis, despite not participating due to injury and rest, have improved chances of qualifying for the tournament. They join Portugal as the only teams mathematically guaranteed Pot 1 status so far. Other national teams including Spain, France, England, Germany, Italy, and Norway are still vying for Pot 1, with Spain particularly well-placed to clinch it soon. A decisive match with Croatia on Tuesday could further solidify Spain's position.
