Senegal and Iraq Face Elimination in World Cup 2026

Senegal and Iraq currently sit at the bottom of their group in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having lost their first two matches and accumulating zero points. Their recent defeats against Norway and France have put them on the brink of elimination.

Both teams will face each other in their final group match on June 26, 2026, at BMO Field in Toronto. To have any hope of advancing to the knockout stage, the winner of this match will need to secure a victory by a comfortable margin and hope for a favorable goal difference to qualify as one of the best third-place teams across all groups.

The match is critical, as the loser will be mathematically eliminated from the tournament.
