FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Ranking: Where Did Uzbekistan Finish?
How were the final positions determined?
In compiling the table, FIFA primarily considered the stage of the tournament each national team reached. Teams that progressed further in the tournament were placed higher in the rankings.
Teams that exited the competition at the same stage were sorted based on the following criteria:
Total points earned in all matches;
Goal difference;
Number of goals scored;
If all indicators are equal, teams are awarded the same position.
Matches that went to a penalty shootout were recorded as draws in these calculations.
