The 2026 World Cup kicks off on 11 June with a record 48 teams competing for football's most prestigious prize.
Four years after Argentina were crowned world champions, England are hoping to end 60 years of hurt while Brazil, France, Germany and Spain are all chasing glory.
But for the first time in the competition's history, eight Arab nations have qualified, with Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia all aiming to light up football's biggest stage.
Qatar will be in action on the second day of the 37-day tournament as they launch their campaign against Switzerland.
Morocco, who crashed out in the semi-finals in Qatar 2022, will square up against Brazil later in the day.
