Despite Nine African Nations Qualifying For The Knockout Round Of The Men'S World Cup, Tunisia Was The Only Caf Side Eliminated In The Group Stage.

Sports

Africa Makes World Cup History with Record Nine Knockout Teams

Nine nations from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have advanced to the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA...

As The Final Group-Stage Matches Approach At The 2026 Fifa World Cup, The Race Among The Best Third-Placed Teams Remains One Of The Tournament’s Biggest Talking Points. Under The Expanded 48-Team Format, The Top Two Teams From Each Of The 12 Groups Automatically Qualify For The Round Of 32, Alongside The Eight Best Third-Placed Teams. The Third-Placed Teams Are Ranked Based On Points, Goal Difference, Goals Scored, Fair Play Record, And, If Necessary, Fifa Rankings. Currently, Sweden, Ecuador, Bosnia And Herzegovina, And Paraguay Are Best Placed To Progress After Collecting Four Points From Their Group Matches, While Senegal, Iran, Croatia, And South Korea Occupy The Remaining Qualification Spots. World Cup 2026: How The Best Third-Placed Teams Are Decided In The Race For The Round Of 32 The Eight Best Third-Placed Teams Are Ranked Using The Following Criteria: Points Obtained In All Group Matches. Goal Difference In All Group Matches. Goals Scored In All Group Matches. Fair Play Record, Based On Yellow And Red Cards Received. Fifa Ranking As The Final Tiebreaker. Also Read: Opponents Every Team Will Face In The World Cup Round Of 32 And Key Dates Current Third-Place Standings Pos. Team Group P W D L Gd Pts 1 Sweden F 3 1 1 1 0 4 2 Ecuador E 3 1 1 1 0 4 3 Bosnia And Herzegovina B 3 1 1 1 -1 4 4 Paraguay D 3 1 1 1 -2 4 5 Senegal I 3 1 0 2 +2 3 6 Iran G 3 0 3 0 0 3 7 Croatia L 2 1 0 1 -1 3 8 South Korea A 3 1 0 2 -1 3 9 Algeria J 2 1 0 1 -2 3 10 Scotland C 3 1 0 2 -3 3 11 Uruguay H 3 0 2 1 -1 2 12 Dr Congo K 2 0 1 1 -1 1 Teams Already In Strong Positions Ecuador (24Th In Fifa Rankings) After Suffering A Defeat To Côte D’ivoire And Being Held By Curaçao, Ecuador Revived Its World Cup Campaign With A Crucial Victory Over Germany In Group E. The South Americans Have Done Enough To Secure One Of The Best Third-Placed Spots And Will Now Await Their Round Of 32 Opponents. Sweden (28Th) Sweden Could Not Replicate The Form That Saw Them Thrash Tunisia In Their Opening Match, But A Draw Against Japan Proved Sufficient. Four Points Should Comfortably Send The Scandinavians Into The Knockout Stages. Bosnia And Herzegovina (61St) Bosnia And Herzegovina Is Currently The Lowest-Ranked Nation Among The Third-Placed Teams In Contention, But A Draw Against Canada And A Victory Over Qatar Delivered Four Points In Group B. Bosnia And Herzegovina Has Already Secured A Round Of 32 Clash With The United States. Paraguay (37Th) Paraguay’s Campaign Has Been A Roller-Coaster. After Suffering A Heavy Defeat To The United States, They Bounced Back With A Victory Over Türkiye Before Settling For A Draw Against Australia. The Result Was Enough To Keep Them In Third Place And Firmly On Course For Qualification. Senegal (18Th) Senegal Were Tipped To Challenge France For Top Spot In Group I But Opened With Defeats To Both France And Norway. However, A Commanding 5-0 Victory Over Iraq Significantly Boosted Their Goal Difference And Put Them In A Strong Position To Qualify. The Lions Of Teranga Could Also Become The Highest-Ranked Third-Place Qualifiers Based On Fifa Rankings. Also Read: Billions World Cup Teams Will Pocket As Fifa Sets Highest-Ever Prize Pool Third-Placed Teams Still Fighting For Qualification Iran (21St) Drawn Alongside Belgium And Egypt In A Difficult Group G, Iran Remain Unbeaten But Winless After Recording Three Consecutive Draws. The Iranians Now Face An Anxious Wait And May Need Their Superior Fifa Ranking To Separate Them From Rivals. Croatia (13Th) The 2018 Finalists Suffered An Early Setback With A Defeat To England, But Still Have A Chance To Climb Above Third Place. Given Their Lofty Fifa Ranking Of 13Th, Croatia Would Be One Of The Strongest Teams To Emerge From The Third-Place Route. South Korea (23Rd) South Korea’s Campaign Has Been Disappointing, With Defeats To Mexico And South Africa Leaving Them Vulnerable. Despite Sitting Inside The Top Eight For Now, The Koreans Must Rely On Results Elsewhere. Algeria (29Th) Algeria Remains One Of The Best-Placed Teams Outside The Qualification Places. Victory Over Austria In Their Final Group J Fixture Would Guarantee Progression, While Even A Draw Could Prove Enough To Advance. Scotland (41St) Scotland Began With A Victory Over Haiti But Failed To Pick Up Points Against Morocco And Brazil. Their Inferior Goal Difference Leaves Them In A Precarious Position, And They Can Only Wait And Hope Other Results Fall In Their Favour. Dr Congo (46Th) Dr Congo Is The Biggest Outsider Among The Remaining Contenders. However, Victory Over Uzbekistan In Their Final Group K Match Would Move Them To Four Points And Significantly Improve Their Chances Of Reaching The Knockout Stages. Eliminated: Uruguay’s Early Exit Even With The World Cup Expanded To 48 Teams, Uruguay Has Failed To Reach The Knockout Stages. The South Americans Drew With Both Saudi Arabia And Cabo Verde Before Losing To Spain In A Match That Could Have Seen Them Top Group H With A Victory. The Uruguayans’ Winless Campaign Makes Them The Highest-Ranked Nation, At 19Th In The World, To Be Eliminated Before The Round Of 32.
