We Global Football has published forecasts for Asian national teams in the qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup. According to it, the Uzbekistan national team's chances of qualifying in the 3rd round are estimated at 96 percent. This result shows that our compatriots have a great opportunity to reach the historic World Cup.
Iran - group leader
In Group A, the Iran national team has a 100 percent chance of qualifying for the World Cup. They are likely to take 1st place with a 96.9% probability, while the remaining 3.1% probability is for 2nd place. It can be said that the qualification for this team is officially completed.
Uzbekistan's final stage matches are crucial
Currently, the Uzbekistan national team has a 96% chance of qualifying directly for the World Cup. However, for the team to officially secure this opportunity, they need to achieve good results in the last two matches against the UAE and Qatar.
Qualification schedule:
June 5 - UAE (away)
June 10 - Qatar (home)
The UAE national team has a 4% chance of qualifying directly, but their main opportunity lies in reaching the playoffs (96%). This indicates that the away match on June 5 is very important for Uzbekistan.
Situation in other groups
Group B:
- South Korea (94.2%) is almost certain to qualify for the World Cup.
- Jordan (68.1%) also has a high chance.
- Iraq (23.6%) and Oman (8.2%) are in a difficult situation.
Group C:
- Japan (100%) has qualified for the World Cup from all matches.
- Australia (93.7%) is also in a good position.
- Saudi Arabia (6.2%) has retained the possibility of playoffs.
A historic opportunity has been created for the Uzbekistan national team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. If our team achieves good results in the matches against the UAE and Qatar, they may participate in the World Cup for the first time. Currently, there is a 96% chance of qualification, but the final matches will still be decisive.
Football fans have high hopes for our national team's participation in the decisive matches. We believe that in 2026 we will see the Uzbekistan national team on the fields of the USA, Canada, and Mexico!
