Piala Dunia 2026 akan menjadi edisi paling bersejarah dengan format baru yang melibatkan 48 tim. Turnamen ini juga digelar di tiga negara tuan rumah: United States, Canada, dan Mexico.
Dengan jumlah peserta yang lebih banyak, persaingan dipastikan semakin ketat. Setiap grup menghadirkan dinamika baru, sekaligus membuka peluang bagi lebih banyak negara untuk menciptakan kejutan.
Namun, salah satu sorotan terbesar adalah absennya Italy national football team yang kembali gagal lolos—menandai ketidakhadiran mereka di tiga edisi beruntun.
Peta Kekuatan Tetap Sengit
Meski tanpa Italia, persaingan tetap panas. Sejumlah tim unggulan seperti:
- Argentina national football team
- Brazil national football team
- France national football team
- England national football team
- Spain national football team
diprediksi kembali menjadi kandidat kuat juara.
Di sisi lain, tim seperti Japan national football team juga berpotensi menjadi kuda hitam berkat perkembangan pesat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.
