Albania has closed the group of 2026 World Cup qualifiers, securing qualification for the play-offs for the first time in history. A journey whose continuation will be revealed in the draw that will be made on Thursday.

Now, after today's results, Albania also knows which pot it will be in in the draw.

The Reds needed a positive result against England to overtake Ireland in the standings again, but they did not do so.
