The CONCACAF qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ concluded with a remarkable breakthrough for three nations: Curaçao, Haiti, and Panama, who have now officially qualified for the final tournament in North America. The unique format of this edition, marked by the automatic qualification of Canada, Mexico, and the United States as host nations, opened the door for new contenders in the region, offering three highly coveted direct qualification spots.
After an intense campaign spanning several months, Curaçao secured its place thanks to unexpected tactical consistency, Panama confirmed its status as a strong contender in the region, while Haiti delivered one of the most symbolic performances in its recent history, returning to the World Cup for the first time since 1974. Jamaica and Suriname, meanwhile, will have to wait until March, when they will attempt to secure qualification through the FIFA Play-off Tournament.
