FIFA World Cup 2026 Draw Details

The FIFA World Cup 2026 draw has been planned with a new 48-team format.

To keep the competition fair, the top four teams in the FIFA rankings—Spain, Argentina, France, and England—have been placed in opposite pathways.

This means Spain and Argentina, as well as France and England, won't play each other until the final.

England and Argentina could meet in the semi-finals, while France and Spain might face each other in the last four.

The draw aims to make sure the tournament is exciting and balanced for all teams.
