Iceland came close to qualifying for the 2014 World Cup but missed out in the play-offs
Iceland sealed their place at an international tournament for the first time as they secured the point they needed in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Kazakhstan.
Iceland and Czech Republic both progress from Group A, with Netherlands now unable to advance automatically.
Iceland were made to sweat against the Kazakhs, who earned only their second point of the campaign.
Iceland and the Czechs join England in confirming their places at the finals.
Before the match, manager Lars Lagerback said qualifying with Iceland would mean more than reaching eight successive finals with his native Sweden, who he managed for nine years.
Iceland have moved up approximately 100 places in the Fifa rankings since Lagerback took charge in 2011 and now sit in 23rd position, above the likes of France, Ukraine and Russia.
