The group phase of the 2026 World Cup has delivered its verdict. After three intense matchdays across twelve groups and featuring 48 nations, the tournament now enters its decisive knockout phase with the round of 32. However, for sixteen teams, the American adventure ends prematurely.

The officially eliminated teams are:

Czechia (Group A)
Qatar (Group B)
Haiti (Group C)
Turkey (Group D)
Curaçao (Group E)
Tunisia (Group F)
New Zealand (Group G)
Uruguay (Group H)
Saudi Arabia (Group H)
Iraq (Group I)
Jordan (Group J)
Uzbekistan (Group K)
Panama (Group L)
Scotland (Group L)
South Korea (Group A)
