Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2026

Here's what the inter-continental play-offs look like among eligible nations, Top 2 will get a bye to the final:

 

 - 31st

 - 45th

 - 57th

 - 60th

 - 64th

 - 67th

 - 68th

 - 76th

 - 82nd

 - 88th

 - 126th

 - 150th

 

Bolivia and New Caledonia cannot finish in the top 2. DR Congo will be watching the Asian qualifier and hoping UAE wins so they can clinch top 2 as it is impossible for both Panama and Costa Rica to advance together to the inter-continental round. An Iraq win means they will finish top 2.

 

CONCACAF as you can see is still a big mess with 7/12 nations not only eligible to finish second, but also outright qualify to the World Cup. It's quite possible for someone to finish with 11 points and still fail to make the play-off. Considering the amount of draws we've seen this round, a draw for anyone except Curacao (who will qualify to the World Cup outright) means they will have to watch the other results and hope things go their way.

I read that Congo will be above Iraq in the new (and final) ranking even if Iraq win in regular time.

I think you're right, I thought Iraq had a bigger point lead

I am really happy that  has a place in the first pot to avoid of  at the play-offs. And  now 

 

But it does not mean we will win the berth at all ))) Just our record against  is really pessimistic
