The FIFA World Cup 2026 has already begun to leave its first marks of frustration and farewell. With 48 teams spread across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the group stage has become an unforgiving filter that separates those who keep the dream alive from those who must pack their bags early. The dream of reaching July 19 in New Jersey, where the grand final will be held, fades for several teams that did not manage to overcome the initial challenge.

Who are the eliminated teams from the World Cup?

Haiti was one of the first to be eliminated. The initial defeat against Scotland by 1-0 left them in a difficult position, and the final blow came against Brazil, which clearly surpassed them 3-0. The Caribbean team will conclude their participation against Morocco, hoping to at least earn a point to save their honor.

Turkey disappointed. After a brilliant European qualifying campaign, it was expected to be one of the surprises of the tournament. However, they lost 2-0 to Australia in their opening match and then lost to Paraguay, even with a numerical advantage for a good part of the match. Vincenzo Montella's team will bid farewell against the United States, the host and a formidable opponent.

Tunisia is the protagonist of a harsh blow in its group. The 5-1 defeat against Sweden in the debut led to the immediate departure of Sabri Lamouchi and the arrival of Hervé Renard on the bench. But the change was not enough, Japan thrashed them 4-0 in the second match. Without any points, the African team will face the Netherlands in their final match.

Jordan, making its World Cup debut, lost to Austria and Algeria, leaving them with no chance to advance. Their farewell will be nothing less than against Argentina, a match that will serve as an experience for a team that sought to make its mark in its first participation.

Panama was eliminated after losing to Ghana and Croatia. In their second World Cup, the Central American team will try to earn their first historic point against England, a top-tier rival that will test their resilience.

Czechia, after achieving a tense draw against South Africa, complicated their situation by losing to Mexico and is now eliminated from the major international tournament with only 1 point, finishing last in Group A.

Qatar had a promising start after drawing their first match against the table leaders, Switzerland, but after the defeat against Canada, the path became an uphill battle for the Gulf team. They finish the tournament in last place in Group B with just one point.´

Iraq found itself in a tough group against Mbappé's France and Haaland's Norway; the truth is that it couldn't scrape any points and lost decisively to both, making it impossible to get out of last place in Group I.

Uzbekistan, in its World Cup debut in Group K, suffered heavy losses against Colombia and Ecuador, which led to its early exit in the group stage.
