CDM 2026: Argentina – Cape Verde, Ivory Coast – Norway, the schedule for the round of sixteen.

The group stage of the 2026 World Cup is gradually coming to an end, and several matchups for the Round of 16 are now officially known. The results recorded on Friday helped clarify part of the bracket, while the major nations announced as favorites before the tournament — notably the French Team, Argentina, Germany, and Brazil — have already secured their spot in the knockout phase.

The three host countries, the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will also be present. However, several uncertainties remain, particularly regarding the best third-placed teams as well as some final standings in the groups, which could still alter the final bracket.
