Mondial 2026: Le dernier adversaire du Sénégal est connu
It is now official: the Group I draw for the 2026 World Cup is complete.
Forty years after its last participation, Iraq secured its ticket to the North American tournament by defeating Bolivia (2-1) on Wednesday, in the final of the intercontinental playoffs.
This historic victory for the "Lions of Mesopotamia" resonates directly in Dakar. Indeed, Iraq officially joins the group with Senegal, France, and Norway. This opponent, riding the wave of euphoria after forty years of waiting, will be one of the obstacles on the path of Pape Thiaw's men in their quest to qualify for the round of 16.
Following recent tactical tests against Gambia, the national coaching staff now has a clear understanding of their future rivals. While France is considered the favorite and Erling Haaland's Norway a formidable opponent, Iraq appears as the "smallest" team in the group, but a small but determined and physically strong side that will need to be handled with the utmost care.
