Iceland national football team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Rostov-on-Don, Russia


The Iceland men's national football team (Icelandic: Íslenska karlalandsliðið í knattspyrnu) represents Iceland in international football. The team is controlled by the Football Association of Iceland.


The team has enjoyed success in the second half of the 2010s. In the qualifying rounds for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Iceland reached the playoffs before losing to Croatia. Iceland reached its first major tournament, UEFA Euro 2016, after a qualification campaign which included home and away wins over the Netherlands. In doing so, they became the smallest ever nation to qualify for a major tournament. After advancing to the knockout stages of Euro 2016, Iceland defeated England in the Round of 16, advancing to the quarter-finals, where they lost to host nation France 5–2. They became the smallest nation by population to ever clinch a FIFA World Cup berth when they qualified for the 2018 tournament on 9 October 2017.[6]

History



20th century


Although Úrvalsdeild, the Icelandic Football League, was founded in 1912,[7] the country's first international match was played on 29 July 1930, against the Faroe Islands.[8] Although Iceland won 1–0 away, both teams were at the time unaffiliated with FIFA.[9] The first match officially recognised by FIFA took place in Reykjavík on 17 July 1946, a 0–3 loss to Denmark.[10] The first international victory was against Finland in 1947.[11] For the first 20 years of the Football Association of Iceland (KSÍ)'s existence, mostly the team did not participate in qualifying for the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship. In 1954, Iceland applied to take part in qualification for the 1954 World Cup, but the application was rejected.[8] In qualification for the 1958 World Cup, Iceland finished last in their group with zero wins, conceding 26 goals.[8]


In 1980, Iceland won the first edition of the friendly tournament known as the Greenland Cup.[12]


Since 1974, the team has taken part in qualifying for every World Cup and European Championship. In 1994, the team reached their then best ever position in the FIFA World Rankings, 37th. This record stood until 2016 when they managed to reach 21st.[13] In a friendly against Estonia on 24 April 1996 in Tallinn, Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen entered as a substitute for his father Arnór. This marked the first time that a father and son played in the same international match.[14]



21st century


In qualification for Euro 2004, Iceland finished third in their group, one point behind Scotland.[15] As a result, they failed to qualify for a playoff spot.[16]


In 2014, Iceland almost secured qualification for their first World Cup.[17] Finishing second in Group D, they played Croatia in a two-leg playoff for qualification.[18][19] After holding them to a 0–0 draw in the home leg, they lost 2–0 away.[20]


Iceland qualified for a major tournament for the first time in 2015 after finishing second in Group A of qualification for Euro 2016, losing only two games, and beating the Netherlands – which had finished third in the 2014 World Cup – twice.[21] During the qualification, they reached their then highest ranking in the FIFA World Rankings, 23rd.[22][23] Iceland were drawn into a group with Portugal, Hungary and Austria for the final tournament.


At the tournament finals, Iceland recorded 1–1 draws in their first two group stage matches against Portugal and Hungary. They then advanced from their group with a 2–1 victory against Austria.[24] Iceland qualified for the tournament's quarter-finals after a shock 2–1 win over England in the Round of 16, which led England manager Roy Hodgson to resign immediately after the final whistle.[25] However, they were eliminated by host nation France in the quarter-finals, 5–2.[26]




World Cup team 2018.


Iceland qualified for the 2018 World Cup, their first ever appearance in the world championship, securing qualification on 9 October 2017 after a 2–0 win against Kosovo. They became the lowest-populated country to reach the final tournament, and this is considered the greatest moment in Icelandic sports history as they qualified for the World Cup for the first time in the country’s history.[27] Iceland were drawn to play Croatia, Argentina and Nigeria in a group that was considered by many as the "group of death".[28][29] Despite a challenging group, Iceland were tipped to advance from the group by several journalist websites, based on their impressive performance in Euro 2016.[30] Their maiden match at the World Cup was against 2014 runners-up Argentina, with Iceland surprisingly holding Argentina to a 1–1 draw, had proven it[31][32] (this also made them the least-populous country ever to have scored in a World Cup match). However, their chances of advancing from the group were hurt following a 2–0 loss to Nigeria, putting Iceland to play with full determination against already qualified Croatia.[33][34] Iceland lost to Croatia in their final group game; and because Argentina won against Nigeria, Iceland finished bottom of the group with just a point.[35][36]
