there are currently 55 nations in UEFA. I created a table counting how often they had been drawn together in the same world cup or euro qualifying. The most frequent encounter is between England and Poland. Their paths crossed 9 times. I was quite surprised, that there were well established teams that had not been drawn together at least once. among the noteworthy, i checked for even more specialty and thereby found which teams never played each other: Hungary and Scotland Greece and Rep. of Ireland Turkey and Bulgaria Iceland and Italy Belgium and Malta Cyprus and Finland Wales and France Norway and Israel ... didn't had any single competitive match, no Nations League, no qualifier, no finals - only friendlies.
Interesting. So France and Denmark have never played in the same qualifying group. However they were drawn 7 times together in the final stage of both competitions. Euro 1984 Euro 1992 World Cup 1998 Euro 2000 World Cup 2002 World Cup 1998 World Cup 2022
This sure is intresting table Looked that we havent played following teams in european/world cup qualifiers: Albania, Azerbaijan, Denmark, Finland, France, Georgia, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Montenegro, Norway and Poland ... And faced following teams 3+ times: Andorra, Belgium, Bosnia, Belarus, Croatia, Italy, Lithuania, Holland, Portugal, Scotland and Slovenia ... EURO2024 qualifiers draw is in october i think so it is probably sure now which teams i would rather want to see and which to avoid at all costs ...
