The Asian Playoff Battle for the 2026 World Cup 🏆⚽️

Six Asian teams are now fighting for just two tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These nations are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Indonesia, UAE, and Oman.

The playoff stage is one of the most intense parts of the qualification journey. Every team knows that just a single win or mistake can decide its future. The atmosphere is full of pressure, emotion, and drama as these teams compete to join the already qualified nations like Japan, Iran, South Korea, Australia, Uzbekistan, and Jordan.

While the qualified teams can relax and prepare for the big tournament, the playoff teams are entering a fierce battle to keep their World Cup dream alive. Only two will make it through — the rest will have to wait four more years.

This is football at its most intense: passion, hope, and glory on the line. 🌍🔥

Cristiano's hopes of further glory with 🇵🇹 Portugal may have ended last night. But he still departs #euro2020 as the new king of international football after drawing level with 🇮🇷 Ali Daei as the all-time men's top scorer on 109 goals!

Where's Diego Costa? The Spain striker had a lot of company against Iran. 😂🇮🇷🇪🇸

Where's Diego? Costa defied the odds in La Roja's 1-0 victory on Wednesday, the Spain striker somehow breaking down Iran's spirited 'red wall' to seal three points
