Team Profiles
Beaten finalists in 2022, France arrive with Mbappe at his absolute peak. Les Bleus possess incredible depth across every position and Deschamps' tournament pedigree is unmatched. Major title favourites.
Africa's reigning AFCON champions bring pace, power and technical quality. Senegal's blend of European-based stars with unshakeable team spirit makes them genuine dark horses for a deep run.
Norway return to the World Cup led by Erling Haaland, one of the most devastating strikers in history. With Odegaard pulling the strings, Norway have genuine star power to compete with anyone.
Iraq return to the World Cup for the first time since 1986, a 40-year wait for one of Asian football's most passionate nations. They won the Inter-confederation playoff in Mexico after qualifying through the Asian playoffs.

Qualification Scenarios
The top 2 teams in Group I 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.
