The 2026 FIFA Series will be the second edition of the FIFA Series, an invitational association football tournament promoted by FIFA that features friendly matches between national teams from different continental confederations. The 2026 edition will feature, in principle, eight different four-team series taking place across eight host countries during the FIFA window of 23–31 March 2026. [1]
Following the success of the pilot phase of the tournament, FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced the second edition for 2026 during his speech at the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand in May 2024. [2] [3]
On 18 October 2024, FIFA invited member associations to host and/or participate in the 2026 edition. [4] Member associations could apply to organize one or more four-team series (which could include their own national team) or to participate in a series in which they would contest two matches against opponents of a similar level and probably from different continental confederations. [5] More than a year later, on 21 November 2025, FIFA announced eight host countries; Australia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mauritius, Puerto Rico, Rwanda and Uzbekistan, leaving open the possibility that other member associations could join as host countries in the coming months. [1]
FIFA did not confirm whether the national teams from the eight host countries would also participate in the series or only serve as organizers, as Saudi Arabia did in 2024. However, it is presumed that all hosts will participate with their own national teams, given the confirmation of several of them. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
