Team history
Kazakhstan joined UEFA in 2002 after an earlier period in Asian competition. Their European qualifying history is therefore shorter than that of most opponents, and the senior national side have not yet reached a EURO or World Cup finals.
The EURO 2024 campaign brought a major step forward: Kazakhstan collected 18 points in their qualifying group and also earned a play-off opportunity through the Nations League. A 3–2 comeback win against Denmark was the standout result. Defeat by Greece in the play-off semi-final then ended that attempt to reach a first European finals.
