Third-place race

The 2026 format advances group winners and runners-up, plus the strongest third-place teams. This table is modelled from completed group results in the live package and will shift as more matches finish.

Knockout path

Knockout slots stay readable before qualifiers are confirmed. Once upstream data resolves a placeholder into a real team, the dynamic match pages and this tournament page read the updated package first.

Data notes

The standings use confirmed scores from the live data worker. Tie-break ordering uses points, goal difference, goals scored, then FIFA live rank as a stable display fallback until official tie-break detail is available.
