Italy, Sweden, Turkey or Denmark cannot afford to miss if they want to be in World Cup.
FIFA has made the draw for the upcoming World Cup play-offs to determine the last six teams to qualify for World Cup 2026 next summer.
There are, in fact, two different play-offs: the Inter-Confederation play-offs, with six teams battling for two spots, and the European play-offs, with 16 teams battling for four spots. Both mini-tournaments take place between March 26 (semi-finals) and March 31 (final).
The 16 teams (which include the 12 runner-ups on each group and four additional who were saved by their performance in Nations League) have been drawn into four «groups», or paths, with four teams each.
