We are still far from it… France vice-champion in the world 2022 has still not started the 2026 World Cup qualifiers co-organized in Canada, the United States and Mexico in 14 months. The Blues of Kylian Mbappé even play the Final Four of the League of Nations at the international window of June, with a semi-final against Spain (before a final or a match for 3rd place), before attacking, finally, the qualifying for the World Cup 26 in a group composed of Ukraine (first opponent on September 5), Island and Azerbaijan. Only the first in the hen will be qualified.
Now third in the world ranking of FIFA behind Argentina and Spain, France is obviously guaranteed to be part of the series heads of the 2026 World Cup. The Blues would also avoid England, Brazil, the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium and Italy, as well as the three host countries. If all the European nations mentioned qualify directly for this World Cup, it is Germany, 10th in the world, which will be the team to avoid in hat 2. Despite the expansion at 48 teams, there can largely be a group of death!
In hat 2, two other teams will be avoided if we take into account the market values of the enrollment estimated by
Transfermarkt. Three national teams have a market value of more than a billion, namely England, France and Spain. The Mannschaft is the 9th team best valued by the German site, up to 673 million euros, the Uruguay of Federico Valverde is 13th and the Morocco of Achraf Hakimi is 14th, with workforce assessed at 447 and 412 million respectively.
France, the danger is everywhere!
In this little game, we find selections with a very high market value in hat 3, starting with the Ecuador of Willian Pacho and Moisés Caicedo, whose current workforce is estimated at 294 million euros, the Ivory Coast of Evann Guessand at 280 million euros, the Cameroon of André-Frank Zambo Aguissa at 215 million euros. These African teams are extremely well provided in high -level players (not to mention that those who evolve in the Premier League are better rated).
Finally, hat 4 projected by X account Football Rankings is particularly unbalanced. In the middle of the teams who are the least well classified at FIFA, we will find whatever the four winners of European dams arrive, which could be Serbia, Norway, Greece and Turkey. Again, these numbers have sacred cracks. The selection led by Erling Haaland, valued at 456 million euros, is the 12th most expensive team according to Transfermarkt. Hakan çalhanoglu's Turkey is also part of the world's top 20 with a value of 336 million. Note, however, that the French team can draw only one European opponent. It will be either in hat 2, or in 4 …
