The squad results for the upcoming World Cup in 2026 have been released, and it's clear that there will be some major changes to the tournament.
One of the most notable changes is the addition of four new teams to the tournament. These four teams include Australia, Denmark, Morocco, and Peru. This means that the field of play for the tournament will expand from 32 teams to 48 teams.
Another major change is the increase in the number of matches per group stage. In previous editions of the World Cup, groups had three matches each, but this year they will have four matches. This means that teams will need to play more matches than ever before to secure their spot in the knockout stages.
In terms of the format of the tournament itself, the introduction of a round-robin phase has been introduced. Teams will now play each other twice, with one match being played at home and one away. This should create more excitement and unpredictability in the tournament.
Overall, the 2026 World Cup promises to be a thrilling event, with some major changes to the format and format of the tournament. Fans can expect to see some exciting football action as teams compete for the coveted title.
