Monday could end with half of the 48 teams confirmed for the 2026 World Cup.
An African representative will be known in the coming hours. And two European teams could secure their spot in advance.
Cape Verde or Cameroon?
The small island nation of Cape Verde, with just over 500,000 inhabitants, can clinch an unprecedented qualification if it beats Eswatini, bottom of Group D, at 1 p.m. (Brasília time).
The country, whose official language is Portuguese, could even advance without a win. But for that, it would depend on a Cameroon slip-up against Angola.
If Cape Verde doesn’t win, and Cameroon defeat Angola, the spot will go to the traditional Cameroonian team.
European duo try to seal spots
Switzerland is unbeaten in Group B and can punch its ticket by beating Slovenia away, provided Kosovo also fail to defeat Sweden away.
France is another team that could secure its spot on Monday. But the task, in theory, is a bit tougher.
Without Mbappé, the French need to beat Iceland away and hope that Ukraine do not defeat bottom side Azerbaijan.
All matches kick off at 3:45 p.m.
