Teams to Watch Out For in the FIFA World Cup 2026
With 48 teams participating in the World Cup, there are some absolute favorites that can be handpicked from the lot. Here are some national teams to look out for in this year’s World Cup:
Qatar
Qatar is a team to look out for, especially since Julen Lopetegui took over the national side. The team is full of talented players playing in the top-flight league of the country.
Brazil
Carlo Ancelotti’s first stint as a national team manager comes at the biggest stage of them all. The project hexa is what the Italian manager is given the job of, and he will be looking forward to delivering for the nation, after selecting 26 of the finest men to represent the country.
Morocco
Mohamed Ouahbi will be taking the reins from Walid Regragui, the man who took the team to Qatar World Cup’s semi-finals, and secured a 4th-place finish for The Atlas Lions. Will the African nation make another underdog story at the World Cup?
Scotland
Scotland made it to the World Cup after a 28-year break in the dreamiest way possible last year, with decisive goals at the most decisive stages in a historic 4-2 victory over Denmark at Hampden Park.
Steve Clarke’s men will be making it their goal to make it as far as possible in the tournament.
United States
Host nation, a solid chance to be the dark horse under boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Turkey
Ay-Yıldızlılar are all set to play their strongest team in the 23rd edition of the World Cup. Under Tony Popovic, the team relies heavily on youngsters as well as experienced veterans.
Germany
Julian Nagelsmann has a big task on his shoulders ahead of the World Cup; to take Germany to the knockouts for the first time in three editions. The 2014 winners couldn’t make it past the group stages in both the 2018 and 2022 editions; the DFB-Team will be looking to secure their berths in the knockouts and further stages under Julian.
Some other notable teams include:
- Ecuador
- Netherlands
- Sweden
- Belgium
- Iran
- Spain
- Uruguay
- Saudi Arabia

- Senegal

- Argentina
- Portugal
- Colombia
