The final tournament of the Soccer World Cup in North America will include twelve groups with four countries in the group stage on the match schedule. For more information, see: Schedule. Prior to this, there will be a large number of qualification groups. Each continental zone (AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, UEFA) will have several groups consisting of a different number of countries in the qualification stage (2023-2025).
