Spain
Spain enter Group H as the team many will back to dictate rhythm and field position. Their strongest route is to control the ball early and keep the section from turning into a physical contest.
As of April 3, 2026, Group H is confirmed with Spain, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde. The section combines a major European favorite, a high-level South American challenger, and two teams fully capable of changing the group with one big performance.
Spain bring possession control, Uruguay add edge and intensity, Saudi Arabia offer speed in transition, and Cape Verde carry the kind of compact structure that can frustrate more fancied sides.

Group H Teams
Back to All Groups →Uruguay
Uruguay bring tournament personality, defensive edge, and a level of match management that can decide close groups. They should again look like a direct rival for the top spot.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia are capable of forcing fast, awkward stretches that pull stronger teams away from comfort. That makes them a genuine threat to take points and complicate the group picture.
Cape Verde
Cape Verde enter as the outsider on paper, but their organization and competitive discipline still matter. In a group with narrow margins, one result could put them straight into the qualification conversation.
