Five additional teams have confirmed their places in the last 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup before the group stage concludes. Following the completion of Group H matches, Portugal, England, Ghana, Egypt, and Paraguay have all secured progression to the knockout stage. Spain topped Group H with seven points, while debutant Cape Verde made history by qualifying as runners-up with three points after three draws. Uruguay, a two-time world champion, was eliminated following a 1–0 defeat to Spain, and Saudi Arabia also exited after a goalless draw with Cape Verde.
The eliminations of Uruguay and Saudi Arabia clarified the standings across other groups, ensuring qualification for teams with four points, including Portugal, England, Ghana, and Egypt. Each still has one group match remaining but is guaranteed at least a best third-place finish. Paraguay, having completed all three group matches, advanced from Group D with four points after a goalless draw against Australia.
Cape Verde’s qualification with only three points stands out as one of the biggest surprises of the new 48-team World Cup format, while teams like South Korea, Scotland, and Senegal remain in contention depending on other results.
