A total of 48 teams will compete in the mega competition.
Top teams from all around the world are now ready to be a part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Argentina national football team are the defending champion, and it is not going to be easy for them this time around.
United States of America, Mexico and Canada are hosting the mega tournament. Spain, France, Argentina and England are some of the favourites to win the World Cup. These sides have strong teams on paper and are not going to be easy to defeat.
Portugal national football team can be one of the teams to surprise the fans. They secured the 2025 UEFA Nations League title after taking down Spain in the final of the tournament. Since then, they have done well and have a balanced squad too.
Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal recently faced the USA in a friendly and secured an easy 2-0 win. They looked good, but still need to work on their strategies in the final third. Even though CR7 is now 41 years old, his presence is going to play an important role for them.
