which teams have fallen out of the wolrd cup football

At least five teams have already fallen out of the 2026 World Cup after losing both of their opening group matches: Haiti, Turkey, Tunisia, Jordan, and Panama.

Teams eliminated so far

  • Haiti, after defeats to Scotland and Brazil.
  • Turkey, after losses to Australia and Paraguay.
  • Tunisia, after heavy defeats to Sweden and Japan.
  • Jordan, as the only Asian team already mathematically out of advancing.
  • Panama, after narrow 1-0 losses to Ghana and Croatia.

What this means

These teams cannot reach the next stage anymore because they have no path left after the first two rounds. ESPN also reported that Czechia were eliminated on June 24 after Mexico beat them 3-0.

Wider context

Some coverage says a total of eight nations had already been eliminated at that point in the tournament, so the list is still changing as group matches finish.

Note on wording

If by “fallen out” you meant teams missing the tournament entirely rather than teams eliminated during the World Cup, that is a different list; for example, Italy, Chile, and Nigeria are among the notable teams not in the 2026 field.
