The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been full of thrills, surprises, and excitement as 48 teams vie for the one global championship available at the end of the journey.
From No. 1-ranked defending champions Argentina down to the lowest-ranked nations of Haiti, Curacao, and New Zealand, the players have come to compete on the biggest stage. The result has been one of the most entertaining and electric football tournaments in recent memory, where almost every game has been a nail-biter filled with tense moments and thrilling twists.
That is likely to continue in the knockout stage, which features a Round of 32 for the first time in World Cup history. Those reaching the 2026 final will have played one more game than previous finalists, meaning there is more potential for quirky twists and upsets.
