World Cup 2026 Qualifiers

[ZenMaster]

The format of the World Cup qualifiers for Europe has changed. There will now be 12 groups: 6 groups with 4 teams and 6 groups with 5 teams. The 12 group winners will qualify directly for the World Cup, while the 12 runners-up will enter the playoff round. They will be joined by the four highest-ranked Nations League teams that did not finish in the top two of their qualifying group. From these 16 teams, only 4 will secure a place in the World Cup through the playoffs. Most pots have been determined, and Albania is assured of being in Pot 3 and Kosova Pot 4. Draw will be on December of this year.

Pot 1:
Pot 2:
Pot 3: NIR
Pot 4:
Pot 5:

POT 1 Denmark, Switzerland and Austria can still end on POT 2

POT 2 Poland, Hungary and Serbia still have chances to finish on POT 1 while Norway, Greece and Czech Republic can still end on POT 3.

POT 3 Scotland and Slovenia can finish still on POT 2, Israel can still end on POT 4

POT 4 only Bulgaria has still chance to finish on POT 3

We need something like this: Denmark, Romania, Albania, Estonia

[ZenMaster]

I want Croatia, Slovakia, Albania and Latvia

[ZenMaster]

England, Serbia, Albania, Latvia, Andorra
Duka reaction said it all

[ZenMaster]

Switzerland, Sweden, Slovenia and Kosova in group B
As Pot4 team you won't be able to get better draw than this, Kosovo chances are extremely slim but definitely can compete with anyone on this group.

Serbia ahahahahha this is gonna be fun

[Dallku]

Nice group! Would rather face Serbia 10x more than Czech Republic.

[Redijupison]

Albania can beat Serbia. I fear England, I think Albania has never had a solid game vs them.

It's going to be tough as Albania won't be able to get a point against England. It's going to be two 3-0 thrashings. If Albania wants to qualify they'll have to steal points against England.

Edit: It also looks like Albania somehow managed to get the toughest group. Never have any luck with these draws

Edhe me shortin ma te favorshem te mundshem ne leter, Shqiperia e kish pas te pamundur me fitu grupin. Mu bo qejfi qe ra Serbia ne grup per me pa shqiptaret prape se kush osht Serbia e kush jane serbet. Pak ore kan kalu prej shortit edhe filloj fushata e neveritshme, servilizem edhe kompleks inferioriteti ndaj shkijeve.
Mas ndeshjes te Beogradit kish mjaftu nje kerkese prej FSHF-se ne UEFA per mos me pas mundesi me ra te njejtin grup Serbia me Shqiperine por e kishin pamundesu mundesine me organizu kampionatin europian te moshave bashke. Hall i madh per qeverine shqiptare edhe FSHF-ne qe nuk munden me kontrollu tifozerine e Serbise ne Beograd, se per Air Albania e keni te sigurt qe veq ata qe kan marr pjese ne koncertin e Goran Bregoviqit kan shance me marr bilete.
