The 2026 tournament in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada will include 48 teams instead of 32.

Vietnam World Cup 2022
Vietnam was the first team to be kicked out of the third and final round of Asian qualifying for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. It was because they lost their seventh game in a row. When the pressure was finally off, the Vietnamese showed what many people thought they could do by beating China PR 3-1 at My Dinh National Stadium.
- Vietnam qualifies for its maiden voyage. World Cup for Women
- Playoff victories over Thailand and Chinese Taipei ensured playoff success.
It was the first time a Southeast Asian country beat China, which means that in their first World Cup qualification game at this level, they will at least have a win and three points to show for it.
Vietnam needs at least one more win to avoid coming in last, but they should try to get it against Oman in March and finish with a tough match against Japan
If they put on a few more games like this, it would help to boost morale before they start preparing for what will be a much more realistic goal than qualifying for the World Cup: making it to the quarterfinals of the AFC Asian Cup, which will be held in China again next year.
Japan 2022 World Cup
Group E will have 26 players on the Japan World Cup 2022 team. These players will play in their matches. The Japan World Cup 2022 team has been announced, and manager Hajime Moriyasu said he chose young players with “burning ambition” over veterans for this month’s championships.
Group E of the Qatar World Cup will feature Japan, Germany, Costa Rica, and Spain. Japan quickly ensured they would be there and play against Germany, Costa Rica, and Spain. Japan has been to seven World Cup finals, which means they are a very experienced team.
In Qatar, the goal is to reach the last 16 stages for the fourth time after doing so in 2002, 2010, and 2018. The Samurai Blue team has a lot of skill, and even though they are in a tough group with Germany, Spain, and Costa Rica, they are confident they will do well.
Their easy-to-watch style and players from most of Europe’s top leagues will make them everyone’s favorite second team, though many club fans will cheer for their team.

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2022
The excitement and worry about the official draw for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2022 have given way to preparations for the teams’ return trip to Australia in July.
After the Official Draw and Team Seminar in Auckland last weekend, representatives from each team went on a week-long inspection tour of Australia and Aotearoa, New Zealand. They stopped at stadiums, training facilities for each venue, team base camps, and hotels. It’s important to note that this will be the first Women’s World Cup with Team Base Camps.
Opening Day
On the first day of the tournament, New Zealand will play Norway. Then, all eyes will be on Sydney, where Australia will play the Republic of Ireland.
Vera Pauw, the coach, who used to play for the Netherlands and now plays for the Republic of Ireland, was one of the famous people who went to the different facilities. Other famous people who went included Pia Sundhage from Brazil and Bev Priestman from Canada.
As Pauw looked at the newly built Sydney Football Stadium, she said, “We just got over the shock of finding out we had made it to the tournament, and getting to play the first game against the host country in a stadium like this is a dream come true.
Each team’s tour started in the city that hosted the first match. If teams wanted to go to more places, they could do so. They will also be able to choose where the Team Base Camps are.
Priestman says that when teams come, people are more excited. “But even small things, like how long it takes to get from the locker room to the tunnel to the field, can make a massive difference in the World Cup, so it’s essential to know where you’re going.
It’s exciting to welcome these teams, many of which are making their first appearances. It’s a true sign of the success of the Women’s Football Strategy that FIFA put in place. They spent more than $1 billion to help the women’s game grow. Many new teams and teams that had never played before could participate in the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time.
