Non-European or South American FIFA World Cup Winner by 2026
Football has traditionally been dominated by European and South American teams. However, investment in youth development and international coaching is growing in Asia, Africa, and North America.
Challenges include experience, squad depth, and tournament pressure. Underdog teams have occasionally achieved surprising results.
My prediction: While an outsider winning is unlikely, significant progress by emerging football nations will make the 2026 World Cup more competitive and unpredictable.
