The expanded format replaces the familiar 32-team setup with twelve groups of four, with the top two in each group plus the eight best third-placed sides advancing to a brand-new round of 32.
This category tests how well you know the tournament itself: the 16 host cities, the stadiums (including Estadio Azteca, the first ground ever to stage matches at three different World Cups), the qualification stories, the squads and the format changes. If you have been following the road to 2026, this is where you prove it.
