The Israeli national football team faces a diminished chance of qualifying for the Euro 2028 tournament, particularly through the current Nations League window, following three initial matches with unfavorable results. Despite these setbacks, the team will compete in the upcoming Euro qualifiers later this year to secure a spot in the 24-team competition. Statistical analysis from "Football Meets Data," a prominent global statistics page, has projected qualification probabilities for various national teams. Notably, the tournament's hosting by five nations does not grant automatic berths, though the two highest-ranked non-qualifiers will receive invitations. Spain leads the projections with nearly 100% qualification odds, followed closely by England, Portugal, and France, all above 99%. Israel is ranked 33rd in these projections, with a 23% chance of reaching the Euros. The team is positioned above nations like Romania and Finland but trails behind Georgia and Albania in the projected standings. The article includes a detailed list of qualification probabilities for numerous European nations as of October 4, 2026.
