After Algeria's victory over Jordan with a score of 2-1, six teams qualified for the Round of 32 in the 2026 World Cup, while four teams exited the tournament before the final round of the group stage. The new qualification system, for the first time in the tournament’s history, involved the top team from each of 12 groups qualifying, along with the second-place teams and the best eight third-placed teams, bringing the total number of qualifiers to the desired count.
