From France to Moldova: Ranking all 87 countries who began the quest for 2026 FIFA World Cup
It’s the quadrennial question every football nation faces, what matters more: talent or form? With the 2026 FIFA World Cup drawing closer, ESPN has decided not to choose between them. Instead, it created a balanced ranking based on both.
Using Transfermarkt’s estimated player values as a measure of talent and World Football Elo Ratings for recent performance, ESPN assessed all 87 countries still mathematically alive in the qualification race. The result is a revealing snapshot of global football strength and momentum heading into next summer’s showpiece in North America.
At the top of the list sits France, boasting unmatched squad depth and world-class firepower led by Kylian Mbappé. Spain and England follow closely, with both nations already qualified and displaying consistency in performance and player development. Brazil, Portugal, and Argentina complete the top six, each balancing elite talent with continental success.
African giants Morocco, Senegal, and Nigeria rank high among the continent’s best, while Japan, South Korea, and Australia represent Asia’s leading forces.

Interestingly, ESPN highlights nations punching above their weight, like Jordan, Cape Verde, and Ecuador, all of whom have already sealed qualification despite modest squad values.
At the other end, Moldova anchor the rankings, still clinging to faint playoff hopes despite losing all their qualifiers. Similarly, Benin and Haiti remain outsiders with slim mathematical chances.
From world champions to surprise qualifiers, the 87 names reflect football’s evolving balance, proof that in World Cup qualifying, form and fortune can matter just as much as talent.
