What is the FIFA World Cup Qualification CONCACAF?
The FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious and important international football tournament. Although the event itself only happens once every four years, there are multiple international soccer games to bet on, including the qualifiers.
CONCACAF is the North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football confederation, which includes 41 member associations for countries and territories throughout the region. The FIFA World Cup consists of national teams from around the world, with slots given to each confederation. CONCACAF receives 3 direct slots, while there are also 2 inter-confederation play-off slots available for teams to enter the final tournament.
To achieve a place in the World Cup, CONCACAF teams must go through the qualifying stages, which take place in the two years before the tournament.
History of the FIFA World Cup Qualification CONCACAF
The CONCACAF was established in 1961, merging the North American Football Confederation (NAFC) and the Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF).
The very first CONCACAF qualifiers were held in 1965, for the 1966 FIFA World Cup. 9 teams took part, which were split into 3 groups of 3. Mexico was the first team to qualify from the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, reaching the tournament for the 6th time in a row.
11 teams from CONCACAF have taken part in the FIFA World Cup, with those teams reaching the quarter-finals 5 times.
Format & Schedule of the FIFA World Cup Qualification CONCACAF
The format and schedule of the World Cup qualifiers depend on the year and the format of the tournament itself. For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the tournament has been expanded to feature 48 teams. As it will be hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, these three countries won’t participate in the qualifying process.
32 teams will participate in the CONCACAF qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. There are 3 rounds, with teams entering either the first or second round based on their FIFA rankings.
First Round
The first round features 4 teams ranked between 29 and 32. Teams are split into pairs, with home and away games played. The 2 winners progress to the second round.
Second Round

Third Round
12 teams reach this round, where they’ll be drawn into 3 groups. Each team plays home and away games against group opponents. The 3 group winners automatically qualify for the World Cup, while the 2 best-ranked runners-up advance to the inter-confederation play-offs.
