Netherlands
The Netherlands begin Group F as a team many will expect to top the section, especially if they control possession and field position early. Their challenge is to avoid letting a balanced group drift into narrow margins.
As of April 3, 2026, Group F is set with Netherlands, Japan, Tunisia, and Sweden. The group looks balanced enough that one strong result could reshape the table quickly, so every fixture matters from the opening round.
Netherlands bring technical control, Japan offer one of the cleanest collective structures in the field, Tunisia remain difficult to break down, and Sweden add height, work rate, and direct threat.

Group F Teams
Back to All Groups →Japan
Japan continue to look like one of the most tactically reliable teams outside the traditional elite. Their pressing, movement, and discipline make them a very serious contender for direct qualification.
Tunisia
Tunisia tend to keep games compact and competitive, which matters a lot in a section like this. They may not have much room for error, but they have enough structure to stay involved in every match.
Sweden
Sweden bring a fresh but still dangerous profile into Group F, with direct attacking moments and strong set-piece potential. They look well placed to turn this into a genuine four-team race.
