Benfica star called up to help national team reach 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Alexander Bah has been called up to the Danish national team for the World Cup playoff matches in the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada. Sporting’s Morten Hjulmand and Porto’s Victor Froholdt have also been selected.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Christian Eriksen, and Rasmus Hojlund.

It’s worth noting that Denmark will face North Macedonia on the 26th, and if they win, they will play the winner of the match between Czechia and the Republic of Ireland on March 31. If they qualify for the June tournament, the Nordics will face Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea in Group A.

While Sporting’s captain and Froholdt have been included in the latest squads and have featured regularly, the big news is the return of Benfica’s full-back, who hasn’t played for the national team since November 15, 2024, due to a serious injury.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Alexander Bah – valued at 9 million euros – has played in four matches: all in Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 161 minutes he was on the pitch, the Dane scored one goal – against AFS SAD.
