What teams are qualified for 2026 World Cup? Full list, latest updates
The qualifying process for the 2026 World Cup, a two-plus year saga to winnow 206 nations down to 48 entrants for next summer's tournament, is coming down to its pressure-packed final stages.
Eighteen of those berths have been snapped up already, with South America and Oceania both completing their qualification processes. Other continents are coming to a dramatic conclusion of their own, with African qualifying a particular focus in this window.
A truly wild finish seems assured in Africa's Group C, where an overturned result stemming from an ineligible player has left five teams alive with two games to play. Back in March, South Africa defeated Lesotho 2-0, but that match is now in the books as a forfeit after the "Bafana Bafana" fielded the suspended Teboho Mokoena.

The Liverpool superstar scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Djibouti on Wednesday to ensure Egypt will top its African qualifying group with one round to spare.
