At the World Championship 2026, the first pair of playoff stages was formed in football. Teams from Canada and the African Republic will play against each other in the 1/16 finals.
The match will take place on the 28th of June in Englewood, in the American state of California..
For the national team, this is a historic achievement, and the team made it to the playoff round of the world championship for the first time in its history. The African team finished another place in Group A, while Canada finished another in Quartet B.
The two teams completed the group stage with the same number of points.
It’s a good guess that the World Cup 2026 will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The tournament will no longer be held with the participation of 48 national teams, and Argentina will lose the world champion.
