Asia's Pathway to the FIFA World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup™ 2027 

actually it is more advantageous for South American zone and African zone because qualification are not too complicated , in contrast to Asia it's clearly too confusing .

@@A-Better-Tomorrow now the odd number of 9 automatic slots can be a huge problem for the African Confederation to figure out a suitable format.

Not happening haha the first 6 spots are going to South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Iran and Qatar. The other 2.5 spots are going to UAE, Iraq, Uzbekistan or Oman. This is by stats, but you are right, football is full of surprises, but the teams that have a higher chance to make a surprise are Vietnam, Syria, Jordan, Bahrain or Lebanon. Don't see a pot 3 team making it in this format. In AFC the difference in level between the pot 1-2 and 3 are huge.

​@@JK-tq7bi The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers draw is based on july FIFA rankings. The difference between india and Lebanon is just 2 points. If india won the intercontinental cup, they go directly into 2 pot.

@@rithickr7437 yes just make it more easier too indonesia to meet india in pot 2 so indonesia can smash india 👌

If Asian Cup qualifiers gets more tough it would be interesting like Euros.

But Asian Cup qualifiers now will include some teams eliminated in WCQ Round 1, which will give certain minnows some matches to fill their international calendar (unlike the 2022-23 edition)

Bhaii don't be over excited warna pichli barrcki tarah heartbreak ho jayega🤯

@@Mahesh_Murmu phicli bar Chance hi nhai tha bhai Now we have real chance!

@@souradeepmitra4453 chance hai lekin opponent teams bhi pehle se tough ho gaye hain...

@@Mahesh_Murmu yes

0 01 ti 0.012 chance now 🤣🤣🤣

Tỉnh chưa

you know , Indonesia has been to WC 1938 as the first Asian country to participate in WC , at that time previous name of Indonesia was Dutch East Indies , lose to Hungary 6-0 in first round and immediately eliminated .

@@A-Better-Tomorrow oh sorry, I forgot that, but actually, 🇮🇩 nowadays isn't strong enough to participate in World Cup finals, both 🇮🇩 and 🇻🇳 need to improve more to participate in WC 2026

@@pntminh2k7 yeah , Vietnam is better than Indonesia .

@@pntminh2k7 I think we can qualify to the 2026 world cup, slots 1 to 6, give it to Australia, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, the remaining 2 slots. I think Indonesia can get those 2 slots, competing with China, Iraq, Syria, Uzbekistan and The UAE, your country Vietnam can beat the United Arab Emirates, plus our squad is already good, there are Sandy Walsh and Elkan Baggot who play in Europe, plus in the U-20 national team there are Justin Hubner, Ivar Jenner and Rafael Struick, we have to be more naturalized at least 2 or 3 more players with European blood who play in European leagues, I think this is what coach Shin Tae Yong meant by long-term program in U-20 national team, we can beat curacao 2x even though Curacao's ranking was 84th in the world at that time, I think If coach Shin Tae Young is maintained until 2026, Indonesia can enter the world cup i hope vietnam and indonesia can qualify too in world cup 2026 🇮🇩❤️🇻🇳💪 i don't care about malaysia i hope they stuck forever 😆🤣 malaysia is suck 🇲🇾🇲🇾👎👎🤣

@@A-Better-Tomorrow not anymore buddy vietnam is collapse now under the french coach 😏 this is the time for indonesia,shin tae-yong and half-blood indonesian player that playing in europeans leagues like eredivisie,belgian jupiler league,Norwegia league,and england league like elkan baggot,sandy walsh,shayne pattynama,ivar jenner,jordi amat and ragnar oeratmangoen👌indonesia will smash vietnam so easily 😏👌

Lo udah di beku jadi es ngapain si lo prindapan sampai di sini🤣

​@@fokusbola9069 hope 😊

Last? Lol

If it’s group of 4, 3 matches if no home & away, 6 if yes. Group of 6 In Asian Qualifiers it will be 10 matches, asian play-off probaly depends on circumstances. It’s just my take though, not sure

Round 2 & Round 3 are home & away, Round 4 is one-leg round-robin, unsure of Continental Playoff matchup.

@@huykim4663 yea, the play-offs should be played home & away, but still it depends on circumstances

Probably

I really hope that the AFC will consider doing a Nations League in the future.

Absolutely not necessary.

Don’t see it as practical. AFC is a geographical large confederation. The existence of Nations League would put a financial burden on AFC as huge support in travel expenses is inevitable.

@@huykim4663 then held it per sub confederation

First time. Bro karena itu masih campuran sama Belanda dan blm bernama Indonesia

@@hananataullah9243 ya bro makasih udh di kasih tau nya

@@hananataullah9243 walo beda nama tetap aja pernah ikut pildun

Saya rasa Kita bisa cuk lolos piala dunia 2026 slot 1 sampe 6 kasih ke australia,jepang,korea selatan,arab saudi, qatar,iran sisa 2 slot lagi saya rasa indonesia bisa dapetin 2 slot itu bersaing dengan china,irak,suriah,uzbekistan dan UEA vietnam aja bisa ngalahin uni emirat arab,di tambah lagi skuad kita udah bagus ada sandy walsh dan elkan baggot yg main di eropa di tambah lagi di timnas U-20 ada justin hubner,ivar jenner dan rafael struick kita harus tambah naturalisasi lagi minimal 2 ato 3 pemain lagi pemain berdarah eropa yg bermain di liga" Eropa,saya rasa ini yg dimaksud dengan program jangka panjang oleh coach Shin Tae Yong di timnas u-20 curacao aja bisa kita kalahin 2x padahal ranking curacao rank 84 dunia waktu itu,saya rasa klo coach shin tae young di pertahaninin smpe 2026 indonesia bisa masuk piala dunia 👌

AFC having fewer slots than CAF (Africa) is probably due to the great number of teams ranked around the bottom of the FIFA Rankings.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That made me laugh 🤣🤣

Thắng được 🇻🇳 rồi mơ tiếp hi 😀😀

@@thaibaoson7721 kita tengok saja nati apa yang akan terjadi.

@@thaibaoson7721 Football is round. God have the answer. Don't think that Vietnam will always be on the top of Asean. Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and other ASEAN countries will raise as well.

I think Saudi Arabia could have a strong chances of making the World Cup 2026 and make their performance strong for 2026 before possibly hosting the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

The ban has been lifted. India has been reinstated in Fifa

dont count out vietnam and kyrgyzstan

@@Ilovesillyanimes Vietnam yes. Vietnam can have a bigger chance than some of the teams he mentioned like Bahrain and Palestine or Lebanon, But Kyrgyzstan? No. Very weak performance recent results. Replace it with Thailand

@@usersixnine347 Thai 😂 better india

@@usersixnine347 thailand had an easy group in qualifiers Kyrgyzstan might have drawn with tajikistan but at least that team has some talent the teams Thailand faced had none

no I’m Italian

it’s so tough for chinese football team

With this prediction draw, I think the teams that would get the ticket to North America 2026 could be: Group A: 🇸🇦🇶🇦 Group B: 🇮🇷🇭🇲 Group C: 🇰🇷🇯🇵 Qualified for the 4th round: Group A 🇦🇪🇮🇶🇺🇿 (🇦🇪 1st place) Group B 🇻🇳🇹🇭🇯🇴 (🇻🇳 1st place) Asian Playoff: 🇹🇭 - 🇮🇶 (🇮🇶 wins) (Joke for fun, don't get it serious)

My man knows the AFC’s draw fixing nature thoroughly 🤣 Always cut down on travel expenses and have the most rivalries possible to bring in coverage revenue

But realistically, I don’t see Oman being a pot below Vietnam to create that Group C

@@pntminh2k7 don't forget in 2 or 3 years from now our squad 🇮🇩 will be prepared,we have sandy walsh 27 years old,elkan baggot 20 years old,rafael struick 19 years old,ivar jenner 18 years old,justin hubner 19 years old,shayne pattynama 24 years old,they all play in europe just like in england,belgium,norway,netherland and we have witan 21 years old and egi maulana 22 years old that playing in slovakia league,and asnawi play in the Korean second division👌this is what coach shin tae yong prepare for 2026 👌🇮🇩🇮🇩💪 we will see in 2026 💪
