World Cup History
Team History: Czechia FIFA World Cup record
Czechia is back at the World Cup for the first time in 20 years. They have one of the longest tournament histories with nine previous appearances - the fourth most of any nation! However, their most recent was in 2006 and since then they have failed to progress beyond the group stages. That kind of record demonstrates experience, but equally shows how tough it has been for them to advance past the first round. In 2026, they will be looking to change that in what will be their 10th World Cup.
