As of the morning of October 14, world football fans have determined 19 teams participating in the biggest football festival on the planet, alongside the three co-host countries of the US, Canada and Mexico.
However, surprisingly, the European region, which is home to football powerhouses, has yet to have any team officially qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
The French team (World Cup 2022 runner-up) just experienced a disappointing result when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Iceland away from home.
This draw has reduced the gap between coach Didier Deschamps and his team to 3 points with Ukraine. With 2 matches left in the qualifying round, the French team needs to be very careful.
Portugal and the Netherlands are very close to a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. They only need to win against their direct opponents Hungary and Poland respectively in the next round to officially advance.

In addition, the Norwegian team is also maintaining its form in Group I with 18 points, 6 points more than the Italian team. To ensure a ticket, Norway needs to accumulate 4 more points in the next two matches against Estonia and Italy.
In addition, other football giants such as Croatia, England, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark and Austria are also considered unlikely to lose their tickets if they continue to maintain stability in the final matches.
According to FIFA's allocation regulations, the European region will have a total of 16 places to attend the 2026 World Cup. Of which, 12 direct tickets will be for the 12 teams leading the qualifying round groups and the remaining 4 places through the play-off series between the second-placed teams.
