Two Gulf nationals among debuting teams
The 2026 World Cup saw several teams participating for the first time in their history, including Jordan, Uzbekistan, Curaçao, and Cape Verde. Meanwhile, 14 other teams had only previously participated once and have been absent from the tournament since then, such as Kuwait, the UAE, Cuba, and Indonesia. The performances of these teams varied, ranging from early exits to reaching advanced stages, with some achieving notable results—like Ukraine, which reached the quarter-finals in 2006. Many of these teams have not repeated their World Cup appearances, and the 2026 edition features a remarkable presence of both historic and new teams alike.
