Asia's hopes fade despite historic turnout
Although nine Asian teams participated for the first time in the 2026 World Cup, all of them were eliminated in the Round of 32. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, South Korea, Jordan, Iran, and Uzbekistan were knocked out at this stage, while only Japan and Australia advanced to the knockout rounds, though neither progressed further. The Japanese team performed notably against Brazil but ultimately lost 2-1. Australia, on the other hand, played a strong match against Egypt that ended in a penalty shootout victory for the Pharaohs. Ultimately, no Asian team achieved significant results that reflect the high ambitions, raising questions about the readiness of Asian teams to compete at the highest level in the World Cup.
