The International Football Federation has confirmed the implementation of the sowing change in the draw procedure for the World Championship 2026, which has stagnated the seeding system, similar to the one that is being contested on the tennis court..

This new system, which has already been tested at the World Club Championship, guarantees that the teams with the highest rating will be placed at the bottom of the tournament bracket. The aim is to give the grandees the greatest chance of reaching the finals or being accepted before the semi-finals.

According to the new principle, the two highest ranked teams (Spain and Argentina) will be the first to be placed in the bottom line, and the same principle will apply to the 3rd and 4th teams (France and England).

“To ensure that, as long as they win their groups, the two top-ranked teams will not compete until the finals” - from the informed FIFA.

The new method has the potential to create greater balance among teams and to ensure that the strongest teams come together in the later stages of growth, as is often the case..

Although weaker teams can strengthen their system, this system supports sporting integrity, giving advantage to the most successful teams, FIFA is committed to ensuring competitive balance and will give.

The draw for the group stage of the Emergency Situation 2026 will be held on the 5th day, and the latest updates on the schedule of matches and stadiums will be announced on the coming day.
