Kick-off on March 26, 2026, at 21:45.

In the playoff semi-finals of the qualifying tournament for the World Cup, the Slovakia — Kosovo match will take place at the Tehelné pole. The upcoming meeting is of particular interest to fans, as in the entire history, the national teams have never met in official matches. The winner of this confrontation will meet the strongest in the Turkey — Romania pair.

Slovakia was in the same qualifying group as Germany and, having taken second place, was forced to break through to the tournament through the play-off stage. Francesco Calzona's charges started the qualification with a sensational victory over the German team, but in the final round, they suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat from them. Despite this result, the host relies on the home crowd factor and the experience of its leaders. At the same time, the Slovak attacking line lacks stability: not a single team player has scored more than one goal in the last six rounds of qualification. Due to injury, the coaching staff will not be able to count on Ľubomír Šatka, but veterans Martin Dúbravka and Stanislav Lobotka are expected to appear in the starting lineup.

Kosovo has demonstrated significant progress in recent years. In the past calendar year, the Balkan team suffered only one defeat in six qualification matches, finishing in second place in the group behind Switzerland. The main threat to the opponent's defense will be twenty-three-year-old striker Fisnik Asllani, who scored eight goals in the current Bundesliga season for Hoffenheim. Statistics of the guests are impressive: since November 2024, the Kosovars have lost in only one of eleven matches in all tournaments.
