Czechia enter as the higher-ranked side (FIFA #41) against South Africa (#56). The a modest ranking gap between the two sides is 15 places. This is a cross-confederation clash: UEFA vs CAF.
Tchéquia are coached by Ivan Hašek, while África do Sul are led by Hugo Broos. Both managers have shaped distinct identities for their squads in the build-up to North America 2026.
In Group A, only the top two teams advance directly to the round of 32, with the third-placed team competing for one of the eight best third-place spots across all 12 groups. A result here can shape the group quickly because the expanded format leaves less recovery margin than a simple top-two table.
FIFA World Cup 2026 is the first edition with 48 teams, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. A total of 104 matches will be played, the highest in tournament history.
