Here are the countries that have qualified for the round of 32 of the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Mexico, the United States and Germany have become the first three nations to secure their places in the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The tournament's expanded format, featuring 48 teams, means the knockout stage now begins with a round of 32.
With two wins from their opening two group matches, Mexico, the USA and Germany have guaranteed their progression with a game to spare.
Mexico were the first team to advance after opening their campaign with a 2-0 victory over South Africa before edging South Korea 1-0 in Group A.
The six points secured by El Tri were enough to book their place in the knockout rounds.
Co-hosts, United States followed suit in Group D. Mauricio Pochettino's side started with a convincing 4-1 win over Paraguay and then defeated Australia 2-0 to reach six points and seal qualification.
Germany became the third nation to progress from the group stage. The four-time world champions thrashed Curaçao 7-1 in their opener before coming from behind to beat Ivory Coast 2-1.
Ecuador's subsequent draw with Curaçao mathematically confirmed Germany's place in the last 32.
With several groups still in action, more teams are expected to join the trio in the knockout phase over the coming days.
