Austria/Iceland/Montenegro/Greece would be swell.  ?

[PaokCT]

Also I saw the format changed a bit. 

[PaokCT]

Draw is on live now... Karagounis is the one putting together Group C groups

[PaokCT]

Wales and Iceland in Group D.... PLEASE PUT US THERE

Group A is looking easy too. Czechia, Ukraine, Albania

Should be able to avoid relegation to League C. Second place in the group is possible.

[PaokCT]

Ehhhh not a fan and quite frankly I see us having more of a chance to finish 4th than 2nd. Terrible group, as now we will have to win our WCQ group to have a chance. Turkey meanwhile gets lucky with their group and is basically guaranteed to finish 1st and go to League A

[Ellada2004]

Greece got the tougher group. I thought we would land in Wales group. England will be tough but you never know they got smoked by Hungary in last NL. Looking forward to playing those English fools. Finland away is always difficult but I see us beating Ireland twice who will be at the bottom of this group. 

[HellasLEAF]

F-sakes.  Terrible group.  No way to spin this positively.  Oh well.

 

This makes qualifying for Euro even more important not to raise the rank in hopes of more favorable WC qualification draw.

You can expect England to qualify directly to the world cup which would leave the 2nd place team in our division the team to go to the playoffs if I'm not mistaken.

I was thinking the same thing. England will most likely get a cream puff WCUP qualifying draw and get first so then if Greece finish second in Nations League it might give us a playoff spot if we need it. 
As for the group I am confident Greece will get 2nd place and push England for top spot. We will get a result vs England as we got a 2-2 draw against a much better France.

Hope we bring our snow shoes for that November game up in Finland!

Does anybody know where one can find away fan tickets for the away game vs England? I see on their site that there is a note for "England fans only" on each option.

[paokarag4]

I could be wrong but I assume tickets for the Greek section will be sold by EPO? Keep your eye on the EPO site, but you will probably have more luck contacting the English FA and they will be able to provide you with more clarity.

We've been drawn to face Scotland in the play-offs for the Nations League. First leg in Greece, return in Scotland a few days later.

Not sure what is better, losing and getting a better chance at winning a League 2 group for Euro 2028, or winning and moving to League A. UEFA really needs to do something like all League A teams get in pot 1 or something.

[Antaeus7]

This is a perfect draw, I fancy Greece's chance to promote to League A 
 

[Brklyngrk]

At a minimum, it will force Greece to play good teams.  To be the best, you need to beat the best...

[Ellada2004]

The best draw possible. Greece will dispatch Scotland!

Great point! 

[Tazmania]

Greece winning and being promoted to League A is clearly the best outcome.

It will provide higher quality opposition and more attractive and lucrative games in the next UNL and the 2028 European Qualifiers draw will be seeded exclusively on the preceding UNL group phase ranking (like the 2024 Qualifiers draw was), so providing Greece wouldn't finish bottom of their group and be automatically relegated they'll be one of the 12 teams in pot one for that draw.
