At the end of March, they will face Israel and Moldova in their opening two matches. Head coach J\u00fcrgen Henn announced today a 25-man squad, which includes as many as five players from Tallinna FCI Levadia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The national team will gather again this Sunday, March 16, when the players will begin their trip together to a training camp in Hungary. There, they will thoroughly prepare for their first World Cup qualifying match. The opening game will take place on Saturday, March 22, at Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen, where Estonia will face Israel. Kick-off is set for 21:45 Estonian time. Three days later, on March 25, Estonia will play their second match \u2014 this time against Moldova in Chi\u0219in\u0103u, with kick-off at 19:00. Both matches will be broadcast live on ETV2 for Estonian football fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levadia players are once again strongly represented in Estonia&#8217;s national team this year. The call-up went to the team captain and experienced central defender Rasmus Peetson, central midfielder Mihkel Ainsalu, full-back Michael Schj\u00f8nning-Larsen, goalkeeper Karl Andre Vallner, as well as central defender Tanel Tammik. For the 22-year-old Tammik, this means he has the opportunity to make his debut for the national team. Tammik joined Levadia in the winter and has started the new season in great form \u2014 in the opening matches of the Premium League, he has already scored two goals, helping Levadia maintain their top position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estonia has been drawn into Group C in the World Cup qualifying campaign, where they will compete against Israel, Moldova, and also strong national teams such as Switzerland and Poland. The goal is to take maximum points from the opening matches to keep alive the dream of qualifying for the World Cup finals for the first time in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wish the best of luck and success to all our men in blue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo: FCI Levadia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Estonian men\u2019s national football team will begin their journey in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this month.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":990010,"featured_media":42366,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[254,245],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-team","category-premium-league"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
