2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group H

Last updated

The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group H is one of the twelve UEFA groups in the World Cup qualification tournament to decide which teams will qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States. [1] Group H consists of five teams: Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Romania and San Marino. The teams will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format from March to November 2025. However, as Austria will be involved in the Nations League promotion/relegation play-offs in March, they will not begin their qualifying campaign until June 2025.

The group winner will qualify directly for the World Cup finals, while the runner-up will advance to the second round (play-offs).
