The draw behaved … as usual in the Greek Mini Football Team as yesterday in Essen they reserved a group of fire despite the fact that we are in the A capacity group!
Belgium, Italy and Saudi Arabia are the three opponents of the blue and white in the eighth group. The Greek Team will have on its side the fiery Greek community of Germany and also the support of the major sponsor OPAP, which has always been close to Greek sports.
Last year, the Belgians from the B capacity group missed out on qualifying for the playoffs at the last minute, being in the most difficult group in Budapest with Brazil, Moldova and Georgia, while the Italians threw the mighty French out of the playoffs for the first time in the history of the tricolors. The Saudis are rookies and come with ambitions and no one can predict their level.
Greece is chasing to qualify as the first to be able to have an easier crossing afterwards, although there the possibility of finding a strong opponent like Turkey is visible.
The coach of the Greek team Giorgos Bastakis said: “This is a draw with particularities. The Belgium team has an excellent coach in its ranks Radu Burciu, and has its fair share of history in the competition. Italy is an extremely quality team having at the same time at its disposal is Alessandro Gallinica, one of the best players in the world.And finally, S. Arabia is an unknown team for us that is sure to be characterized by the excitement of the unprecedented experience.
Our team has proven over the years that it treats opposing teams with unlimited respect and will do the same this time as well, looking at each game individually and aiming to get the best possible result and make those who support them proud!”
In the remaining groups, the also terribly difficult groups stand out:
Fourth group with Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, Ivory Coast.
Sixth group with Moldova, Portugal, Albania and Colombia
Ninth group with Poland, Slovenia, Spain and Uruguay.
It is worth noting that the Socca World Cup 2023 will be opened by the match of the organizer Germany against the quality and fresh team of Cyprus which hopes to have the undivided support of the expatriate community.
