Team Profiles
Belgium's golden generation gets one final shot at glory. De Bruyne and Lukaku lead the charge, but a talented new wave including Doku and Trossard ensures this isn't just a farewell tour.
Iran are Asia's most consistent World Cup qualifiers and bring genuine quality through Taremi and Azmoun. Team Melli have come close to knockout qualification before and this squad has the ability to break through.
Egypt are driven by Mohamed Salah's brilliance. The Pharaohs' talisman leads a squad that blends African Champions League experience with European-based talent. An entire nation's hopes rest on his shoulders.
The All Whites return to the World Cup with Chris Wood leading the line. New Zealand's qualification through OFC and the intercontinental playoff is a testament to Oceania's growth in world football.

Qualification Scenarios
The top 2 teams in Group G advance directly to the Round of 32. Additionally, the 8 best third-placed teams (from 12 groups) also qualify. This means a team could advance with as few as 3 points, or miss out with 4 — goal difference and head-to-head records become crucial tiebreakers.
