Finland's head coach, Jacob Friis, has announced his squad for the upcoming September fixtures, and it's clear that youth is being given a chance. The team features seven players who were part of the U21 European Championship in June, showcasing Friis' commitment to developing young talent.


Two promising players, Adam Marhiev and Oiva Jukkola, have earned their first senior call-up, while others like Matti Peltola, Lucas Bergstrom, Ville Koski, Santeri Vaananen, and Topi Keskinen return to the fold after previous senior appearances. This blend of experience and youth will be crucial for Finland's friendly against Norway and their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Poland.


Experienced players like Lukas Hradecky, Teemu Pukki, and Joel Pohjanpalo will provide leadership in the team. Meanwhile, Adam Stahl and Rasmus Schuller have regained their places in the squad after missing out on the previous two World Cup qualifying matches against the Netherlands and Poland in June.


The Finnish squad boasts a mix of youth and experience, with the likes of Hradecky, Pukki, and Pohjanpalo bringing a wealth of knowledge and skill to the team. This blend of young and old could prove to be a winning formula for Finland's World Cup qualifying campaign.


Finland's upcoming fixtures will be crucial in determining their chances of qualifying for the World Cup. With a mix of experience and youth, they'll look to make a strong impression in their qualifying group.


Finland is set to face Norway in a friendly match on September 5th at Ullevaal Stadion. This warm-up game will be a great opportunity for the team to fine-tune their skills before taking on Poland in a crucial World Cup qualifier.


Finland's World Cup qualifier against Poland is scheduled for September 8th at Stadion Śląski in Chorzow. Currently, Finland tops Group G with 7 points from 4 matches, narrowly ahead of the Netherlands and Poland, who have 6 points each. However, both teams have more games in hand, so the competition is fierce.
