The UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches continue this week with a match between Cyprus and Norway. Both teams will be looking to progress towards the finals.
Being a small nation compared to their rivals, it is understandable that Cyprus has never qualified for a major international tournament. They are known as the perennial underdogs, but they possess the determination to put up a strong fight. With their resilient spirit, they have the potential to create a golden generation in the future.
After securing a 2-2 draw against Armenia in late March, Cyprus has faced a string of losses in their recent history. They have been defeated in five out of their last six matches, facing Scotland twice, as well as Georgia, Norway, and Spain, with the latter resulting in a crushing 6-0 defeat.
Despite having an abundance of raw talent in their squad, Norway has struggled to fully capitalize on it. The expectation is that they will eventually find their stride, with the hope that it happens sooner rather than later. The European Championship should be a significant goal for them, but regardless, they possess the potential to make a lasting impact in the future and should seize the opportunity.
