Greek women’s football team secure promotion and World Cup playoff spot

·

The Greek women’s national football team claimed a 3-2 victory over the Faroe Islands women’s national football team in Tórshavn, sealing promotion to League B and a place in the playoffs for the 2027 World Cup.

The win ensured Greece finished top of Group 4 in League C of the qualifiers, with Vasilis Spertos’ side recording a perfect “3 out of 3” and nine points. Their final group match against Georgia in June is now a formality.

Goals from Moraitou (8’), Giannakas (53’) and Drakogiannakis (78’) secured the result, although the hosts briefly equalised in the 9th minute and pulled one back in stoppage time.

By topping the group, Greece advances to League B and will compete in the October playoffs, where they will face a strong opponent from League A for one of eight spots in the final phase of the 2027 World Cup, seven via direct qualification and one through intercontinental playoffs.
