The minifootball world championship continues in Baku.
Idman.biz reports that after the end of the 1/8 final stage, the 8 best teams of the World Cup have been determined.
2nd consecutive success
The Azerbaijani national team is a semi-finalist of the 2023 World Cup, which is their debut championship. Our team, which took 4th place at that time, will play in the 1/4 finals in the second consecutive World Cup.
Record holders from the second attempt
Like our national team, Bosnia and Herzegovina also participated in the World Cup for the second time. The Balkan people set a record in Baku. The team, which lost in the 1/8 finals in the 2017 World Cup, overcame that barrier this time. Another representative of the former Yugoslavia set a record in their history from the second attempt. Montenegro, which said goodbye to the 2023 World Cup in the 1/8 finals, is now among the eight best teams.
Czech tradition
The most experienced team in the 1/4 finals is the Czech Republic. The participant of all World Cups has never stopped earlier than the 1/4 finals. The champion of the 2017 World Cup lost a step away from the semi-finals in 2015, 2019 and 2023.
Step by step forward
England participated in the World Cup for the 3rd time in its history. The team, which remained in the group in the 2019 World Cup, moved one step forward four years later. At that time, the British stumbled in the 1/8 finals. Taking another step in Baku, England advanced to the 1/4 finals for the first time in its history.
In the desire of the 3rd semi-final
Like the Czech Republic, Hungary has also experienced the excitement of the 1/4 finals in all the World Cups it has participated in. But they did not participate in the first championship. The Hungarians, who remained in the 1/4 finals in the 2017 World Cup, played in the semi-finals in the last two tournaments. The team, which took 4th place first and then 3rd place, is in the desire of the 3rd consecutive semi-final.
Surprising Serbs
The Serbian national team is considered an experienced team in the World Cups. The team, which participated in the world championship for the 4th time, was not remembered for its serious success. The only success of the team, which remained in the group in the 2015 and 2023 World Cups, was the 1/8 finals of the 2019 World Cup. But Serbia, which showed the best result in its history in Baku, is already in the 1/4 finals.
The debutant facing Europe
7 of the 8 teams that will play in the 1/4 finals represent Europe. The only exception is Mauritania. The African representative continues to advance in the World Cup, which he participated in for the first time in his history. The debutant, inspired by the expression "appetite comes with eating", has advanced to a step away from the semi-finals.
It should be noted that the 1/4 final matches of the World Cup 2025 will be held today.
