The lineup for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been finalized, marking the first edition to feature 48 teams. Following the completion of playoff matches, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Turkey, Sweden, DR Congo, and Iraq secured the final six spots. Italy, a four-time champion, failed to qualify for the third consecutive tournament after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a penalty shootout. The tournament will take place from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
