After not qualifying for any major tournament in their history until two years ago, Iceland have doubled up.
Following their exploits at Euro 2016 - during which they beat England in the Last 16 - Our Boys are now hoping their famous thunder-clap will bring them more success at the World Cup.
2018 World Cup Qualification
Iceland qualified by topping Group I, but it was not until the final match that they secured their place in Russia.
USA TODAY SportsIn fact, they were trailing Croatia on goal difference with two games to spare, but a 1-1 home draw to Finland coupled with a 3-0 win for Iceland in Turkey meant the Nordics held the advantage.
Even though they were hosting Kosovo - who had earned just a single point in their nine matches - it was a tense affair that was settled with a goal either side of halftime for Iceland.
Tournament History
Iceland have never played at the World Cup before, although they did lose to Croatia in the play-offs during qualification for the 2014 iteration.
