World Cup 2026 Qualifiers
Posted: Tue Sep 10, 2024 3:18 pm
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.
