Iceland made footballing history on Sunday Sep 06,2015 as they qualified for a
major tournament finals for the first time, joining the Czech Republic
in securing their berth at Euro 2016
The island nation, with its population of barely 330,000, became the least populated country ever to qualify for a European Championship thanks to a nervy 0-0 draw with Kazakshtan in Reykjavik
Iceland only needed a point to secure one of the top two places in Group A, and captain Aron Gunnarsson of Cardiff City was sent off in the 89th minute just before celebrations erupted on the final whistle
The result allowed the side coached jointly by Heimir Hallgrimsson and the Swede Lars Lagerback to follow the Czechs and England in being able to book flights to France next year
England became the first nation to qualify for the 24-nation jamboree on Saturday Sep 05,2015 and the Czechs sealed their place by beating Latvia 2-1
