Bless the wins down in Africa
View project
Of the 48 teams in the expanded 2026 World Cup, 32 advanced to the knockout stage. I grouped teams by confederation and counted who advanced: nine of CAF's ten teams made it, along with 13 of UEFA's 16, five of CONMEBOL's six and three of CONCACAF's six. Only two of the AFC's nine teams advanced, and Oceania's lone entrant went home.
