Going to North America: Every nation that has qualified for the World Cup

The draw is complete

You may have heard all about Edin Dzeko's heroics for Bosnia on Tuesday, taking a spot that seemed destined for Italy, and how Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions pulled off the best qualification campaign in European history last year, but can you name all 48 of the nations that have guaranteed a chance to line up at next year's tournament?

Following the final round of play-offs on Tuesday (31 March) the final six World Cup nations were decided, with Sweden, Turkey, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Czech Republic qualifying from Europe, and Iraq and DR Congo joining from Africa and Asia respectively.

Even now, months before a ball has been kicked, we can say with certainty that the 2026 World Cup will make history.

That's because it's set to be the biggest ever — in terms of teams competing at least.

Where previously World Cup finals were played out between 32 national teams, the North American tournament will include 48.

This has created a huge opportunity for smaller nations, who wouldn't otherwise have a chance at playing at a World Cup to appear for the first time.

This week's international action has seen some truly inspirational stories as nations like Iraq and DR Congo overcame near impossible odds to qualify for their first World Cups in 40 and 50 years respectively.

Check out the full list of qualified teams below.
