2006 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 2

none April 2017 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) The 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group 2 was a UEFA qualifying group for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The group comprised Albania, Denmark, Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Ukraine. The group was won by Ukraine, who qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The runners-up Turkey entered the UEFA qualification play-offs. This qualification group was also notable for the fact that UEFA Euro 2004 champions Greece failed to qualify to finals after they finshed 4th. Their non-qualification was confirmed after a 1-0 defeat away to Denmark on 8 October 2005 - 461 days after winning the UEFA Euro 2004 final in Lisbon. 2002 FIFA World Cup Semi-Finalists Turkey qualified for two-legged play-off by finishing as Group 2 runners-up although they would ultimately lose their two legged play off two Switzerland on away goals meaning they would join Greece in failing to qualify for the 2006 finals. It was the first time Kazakhstan took part in qualification from UEFA region, not AFC.
