The Uzbekistan national football team has been placed in Pot 3 for the group stage draw of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to FIFA, this pot also includes the teams of Norway, Scotland, and Paraguay.
Additionally, Panama, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa are among the teams in Pot 3. FIFA has also provided information about the new playoff system.
According to this system, the highest-ranked teams will be separated to prevent them from facing each other until the final stage of the tournament. For instance, Spain and Argentina, ranked first and second, as well as France and England, ranked third and fourth, can only meet in the final.
The group stage draw will take place on December 5. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will mark the first time in history that 48 teams will participate.
Furthermore, the tournament will be jointly hosted by three countries — the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The competition will begin on June 11 and conclude on July 19.
