Group B may not feature a traditional global powerhouse, but it promises to be one of the most competitive pools at the 2026 Fifa World Cup.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have already upset the odds to qualify, while Qatar are looking to prove they can compete with the world's best after a difficult home World Cup campaign in 2022.
