On June 28, the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup concluded. Out of the 48 teams that started in the tournament, 16 have already been eliminated.
One of the main events on the last day of the group stage was the elimination of the Iranian national team. In their final match, the Iranians drew with Egypt — 1:1, earning three points and finishing third in Group G.
However, to advance to the next stage, the Iranians were hoping that the match between Algeria and Austria in Group J would end with a victory for one of the teams. However, this match also ended in a draw with a score of 3:3, and both teams advanced to the next stage.
As a result, the Iranian national team lost the opportunity to progress further as one of the best third-placed teams in their group.
Group K also saw intense competition. Colombia and Portugal drew — 0:0, and both teams advanced to the next stage. The Democratic Republic of the Congo defeated Uzbekistan 3:1 and progressed as one of the best third-placed teams in the group. Uzbekistan failed to advance and concluded their participation in the tournament.
In Group L, England defeated Panama 2:0 and advanced to the playoffs. Croatia also moved on, winning against the Ghana national team.
With the conclusion of the group stage, the tournament moves to the Round of 16, or playoffs. This means that each team that loses their match will lose the opportunity to continue competing in the tournament.
