The beneficiaries of the expansion of the World Cup, these countries should be regular visitors to the World Cup in the future.

The 2026 Men's Football World Cup qualifiers are underway. Currently, 28 countries have confirmed their qualifications for the World Cup. Next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico will be the first time in the history of football that 48 countries will participate in the World Cup. The following countries are the beneficiaries of the expansion of the World Cup, and they should be regular visitors to the World Cup in the future.

There are 8.5 places in the Asian region of the 2026 World Cup. Uzbekistan, which has always had good overall combat capabilities, has also entered the World Cup for the first time in history. With Uzbekistan’s strength in Asia, it will be relatively easy to obtain World Cup tickets in the future.

After Australia joins the AFC, New Zealand is undoubtedly the absolute hegemon of Oceania. After the expansion of the World Cup, Oceania tickets will definitely be in the possession of the New Zealand men's football team. If there are no accidents, the New Zealand team will play in consecutive World Cups in the future.

In the last World Cup, the African team Morocco reached the semi-finals in a record-breaking manner. Many new forces have emerged in African football in recent years. I personally feel that Africa is also a beneficiary of the expansion of the World Cup. The African region currently has 9.5 World Cup quotas. In addition to the familiar traditional powers such as Cameroon, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and Egypt, South Africa, a seemingly second-rate team in Africa, will also have a chance to secure a World Cup ticket in the future.

Although the World Cup has the most tickets, the competition in the European preliminaries is also very fierce. The expansion of the World Cup has given Norway, a second-tier European team, an opportunity. They may also become regular visitors to the World Cup in the future.
