These PSV players will be in action on Thursday at the World Cup
1 min readThe 2026 World Cup starts again on Wednesday evening with the final group match. The Bosnia and Herzegovina team of PSV player Esmir Bajraktarevic has the honor of kicking off the last group matches in Group B.
The team with Bajraktarevic plays at 9 p.m. Dutch time against Qatar and at the same time, the match Switzerland - Canada is also on the schedule in that group. Those two teams will decide which country takes first place in group P, while Bosnia has to play against Qatar to determine who still has a chance of securing a place among the best third-placed teams from the group stage.
On Thursday, various PSV players are also in action. At 12 a.m., Ismael Saibari and Anass Salah-Eddine take on Haiti, who have already been eliminated, in Pool C with Morocco, and the Atlas Lions still have a chance to win the group.
For this, the Atlas Lions need to achieve a better result than Brazil, which at the same time kicks off against Scotland. Then, at 3 o'clock in the night, it is up to the Czech Republic of Matej Kovar to still have a chance at finishing in second place.
For that, the Czechs must manage to deal with already-qualified Mexico, which thanks to wins over South Africa (2-0) and South Korea (1-0) has already secured first place in Pool A. To be able to finish second, a victory by the Czech Republic over the host country is necessary, and South Africa also needs to pull off an upset by beating South Korea, with goal difference playing a role in determining the second place if both the Czechs and the South Africans manage to win.
At 10 p.m. on Thursday evening, it is time for Armando Obispo and Curaçao in Group E to get ready for the match against Ivory Coast. Last weekend, Dick Advocaat’s men pulled off an upset by making historic progress thanks to a 0-0 draw against Ecuador.
Because of this, The Blue Wave still has a chance of finishing second in the group. With a win over Ivory Coast and a victory by Germany over Ecuador, the island advances as number 2 to the next round.

Bajraktarevic die om 21:00 tegen Qatar speelt, dat is echt zo'n moment om indruk te maken. Als Bosnië de beste nummers-3 droom wil houden moeten ze slim spelen en geen rare kaarten krijgen. 👀⚽
Bajraktarevic donderdag, oké dat klinkt goed. Maar die timing met Qatar-Zwitserland in dezelfde poule is wel spannend, Bosnië moet dan echt slim spelen om nog niet kansloos te worden. tbh, eerste plek gaat sowieso een strijd tussen die twee worden.
