All six "final matches" of the European-Continental Playoffs (POs) have been confirmed, which will determine the qualification for the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup finals. Only six of the 12 teams that will face the final will play in 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup this summer.

The semifinals of the intercontinental PO, in which 16 European teams participated and six teams from five continents excluding Europe, were held simultaneously in each region of Europe and Mexico (intercontinental PO) on the 27th (Korea Standard Time). The European PO is divided into four passes (A to D) for each of four teams, and the intercontinental PO is divided into two passes (1 to 2) for each of three teams.

The results of the semifinals by European PO pass ▲ Bosnia-Herzegovina-Italy (pass A) ▲ Sweden-Poland (pass B) ▲ Turkey-Kosovo (pass C) ▲ Czech Republic-Denmark (pass D) will advance to the finals, leaving each of the last steps to advance to the World Cup finals.

Among them, the final winner of the Czech Republic-Denmark match will join Group A of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup finals, which includes South Korea. It is also Hong Myung-bo Team's opponent in the first round of the World Cup group stage. Four European PO finals, including the Czech Republic-Denmark match in Prague, Czech Republic, will be held at 4:45 a.m. on the 1st of next month. The winning teams in these four finals will qualify for the World Cup as a European PO passing team.

Among the European PO Finals teams, Kosovo is the only team that will try to advance to the World Cup finals for the first time ever. The Czech Republic, one of South Korea's first-round opponents, will try to advance to the World Cup finals for the third time in a row since the 2006 German competition, and Denmark will try to advance to the World Cup finals for the third time in a row since the 2018 Russian competition.

The final match of the intercontinental PO, which includes five continental teams (Asia, Africa, North and Central America, South America, and Asia) excluding Europe, has also been confirmed.

Jamaica beat New Caledonia to reach the intercontinental PO pass 1 final and face the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bolivia also beat Suriname to meet Iraq in the Path 2 final.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo will try to advance to the World Cup finals for the first time in 28 years since the 1974 West German Games when it participated as Zaire, and Jamaica will try to go to the World Cup finals for the first time in 28 years since the 1998 French Games. Iraq is on the verge of a ticket to the World Cup finals for the first time since the 1986 Mexico Games and Bolivia in the 1994 U.S. Games. If Iraq succeeds in advancing to the World Cup finals, as many as nine teams in Asia will head to the World Cup finals.
