The 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted across Mexico, Canada, and the United States, will feature an expanded format with 48 teams.

The qualification process has produced unexpected results, leaving notable football nations watching from home.

The expanded format was expected to include more traditional powerhouses, making these omissions even more shocking for football fans worldwide.
