The FIFA World Cup 2026 is close on the heels, and the 48 participating nations have started announcing their squads for the quadrennial tournament.

The teams are permitted to announce their squads at any time, but they are not considered official until confirmed by FIFA on 2 June.

Associations are instructed to provide a final squad of between 23 and 26 players (at least three of whom must be goalkeepers).
