Argentina has a chance to defend their World Cup title in North America. |
In less than a year, the 2026 World Cup will kick off in North America. At this point, 18 teams are guaranteed a place in the world's biggest tournament. The three host nations – the United States, Canada, and Mexico – are automatically qualified for the finals without having to go through the qualifying rounds.
In South America, the official qualifying rounds have concluded. Familiar names like Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador, and Paraguay have all achieved their goal of securing a World Cup spot. Meanwhile, Bolivia still has a chance but must overcome a play-off match to qualify.
Asia has also identified representatives from Iran, Uzbekistan, Jordan, South Korea, Japan, and Australia who will be heading to North America. Notably, Uzbekistan and Jordan are making their first-ever World Cup appearance.
In Africa, Morocco and Tunisia were the first two teams to secure their places at the world's biggest sporting event next year. New Zealand, representing Oceania, is also guaranteed a spot in the tournament.
The 2026 World Cup returns to the familiar summer timeframe in North America, taking place from June next year and being held in three countries with a total of 48 teams competing. This will be the biggest World Cup in history.
In the most recent World Cup, held in Qatar, Argentina became champions after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over France.
