How do teams qualify from Group H?
The top two teams in Group H advance automatically to the Round of 32. Because 2026 has twelve groups but a 32-team knockout round, the eight best third-placed teams across all groups also go through, so finishing third is not necessarily the end. Only the team finishing fourth is certain to be eliminated. Ties are broken by goal difference, then goals scored, then the head-to-head result.
