Iceland have secured a spot at the football 2018 World Cup in Russia, becoming the smallest nation by population to ever qualify for the showpiece event.

With some 335,000 residents, Iceland easily bested Trinidad & Tobago’s population of 1.3 million in 2006 to become the smallest nation to secure passage to the World Cup finals, according to GOAL.

To note, Iceland had reached the quarterfinals of Euro 2016 in France.
