- Israel has a 23% chance of qualifying for Euro 2028.
- The team ranks 33rd globally in qualification probability.
- Nations League results have already lowered qualification hopes.
- Five host nations do not get automatic berths.
- Spain leads all nations with nearly 100% qualification odds.
The Israeli national football team faces a low probability of qualifying for the Euro 2028 tournament, according to leading statistics website "Football Meets Data." The team, managed by Ben Shimon, has already played four matches in the current Nations League window, with poor results diminishing their chances of advancing through that route. Israel currently stands at a 23% probability of reaching the Euros, ranking 33rd globally in qualification likelihood.
While the Nations League offers one path, the primary qualification campaign for Euro 2028 is set to begin later this year. The tournament will feature 24 teams. Notably, the five host nations do not receive automatic berths but will be among the highest-ranked teams that fail to qualify through the main qualifiers. Spain leads the projections with nearly 100% qualification odds, followed by England, Portugal, and France, all above 99%.
Israel's 23% chance places them ahead of teams like Romania, Montenegro, Finland, and North Macedonia. However, they trail behind nations such as Georgia, Albania, Iceland, and Bosnia. The website's simulations analyzed numerous scenarios to determine each nation's qualification prospects.
