Five-minute deep dives into every group of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Every team, every star, every stadium — by the numbers.
Mexico — host nation, heavy favorite — lands in WC2026's most lopsided group. A 142-point FIFA ranking gap separates top from bottom.
Three confederations, zero easy nights. Co-host Canada plays their opener at home in Toronto. Squad values and rank gaps inside.
Ancelotti's Brazil leads a group with the widest rank spread of the tournament. Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti complete the bracket.
Just 24 ranking places between USA (#1) and Turkey (#4) — the narrowest spread at WC2026. Pochettino's project meets the world.
Nagelsmann's Germany leads a €773M squad. Curaçao arrives as the smallest nation by population ever to reach a World Cup.
Second-toughest by average FIFA rank. Three elite coaches — Koeman, Moriyasu, Potter — battle for two knockout spots.
Iran's fourth consecutive World Cup. Egypt unbeaten through qualifying. Belgium rebuilt. Four confederations, zero guarantees.
Spain enter as the #2-ranked team in the world. Cape Verde arrive as complete debutants. Everything between those extremes, by the numbers.
In production.
