2026 World Cup: 10 countries qualify for tournament

At least 10 countries have confirmed their places at the 2026 World Cup.

Jordan and Uzbekistan qualified for the first time on Thursday, while South Korea sealed their 11th successive appearance.

Uzbekistan were held to a goalless draw by the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhahi.

 

The result was enough for them to clinch the second automatic qualification spot in Group A behind Iran with a game to spare.

The trio join Japan, New Zealand, Iran and Argentina as the countries to have qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

Co-hosts USA, Canada and Mexico automatically qualified for the competition.

As well as the six automatic qualifiers from Asia, the UAE and Qatar will finish third and fourth and advance to the next stage.

In the next stage, six teams will slug it out for two more places at the 2026 World Cup.
