The 2026 World Cup will witness a record participation of Arab teams, with eight teams from the Middle East and North Africa qualifying for the first time in the tournament's history: Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. Historically, the first Arab participation in the World Cup was in 1934. Algeria achieved the biggest surprise by defeating West Germany in 1982, while Morocco made a historic achievement in the 2022 World Cup by reaching the quarter-finals. Arabs are hopeful of achieving an even greater feat in the upcoming edition, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with the number of teams increasing to 48.
