Benfica duo close to 2026 World Cup after play-off progress

Alexander Bah and Amar Dedić are a win from the 2026 World Cup after reaching the play-off finals with Denmark and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

According to Glorioso 1904, the finals are set for 31 March, with Dedić potentially facing Italy and Bah scheduled to meet Czechia.

Dedić featured for Bosnia and Herzegovina against Wales, and the tie was decided on penalties.

The right-back tried to play on after an initial issue, returned following treatment, then left again in extra time, prompting concern at Benfica. He had also missed a national-team training session earlier in the week due to fitness problems.

Bah started for Denmark in a 4-0 win over North Macedonia, with the Danes confirming their favouritism despite early difficulties against a low block.
