World Cup clinching scenarios for final matchday of Concacaf Qualifiers | OneFootball

MIAMI —The Final Round of the Concacaf Qualifiers to the 2026 FIFA World Cup concludes with its final matchday on Tuesday.

The day’s results will confirm three more participants from the region to the FIFA World Cup 2026, joining co-hosts Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The three group winners secure direct berths, and the two best second place teams will advance to the FIFA Play-Off tournament.

Ahead are a few of the scenarios at play during the upcoming matches:

Group A

First place Suriname and second place Panama tied with nine points each, in a tight race to the finish. Separated by three goals, both nations will be out to best the other on goal difference by the end of the night, in case the two win their respective encounters.

In the case that the two nations win and goal difference is level, the next tiebreaker is total goals scored in all matches inside the group. In this scenario, Panama would advance as they would have more goals scored.

If both nations draw, or both lose their respective encounters, Suriname will keep the top spot and seal the direct qualification.

The easiest way to qualify would be if one nation wins and the other loses or draws. If one nation draws, the other would need to lose for the first to qualify.

Suriname will face Guatemala on Tuesday, while Panama hosts El Salvador simultaneously.

Group B

A World Cup spot is on the line when group leaders Curaçao visit Jamaica.

Separated by just a point in the standings, Curaçao will qualify with either a win or draw against the Reggae Boyz.

Jamaica will book a spot in the 2026 World Cup with a win over Curaçao.

Group C

With Honduras and Haiti tied in the standings on eight points each, there is still a lot to play for in Group C.

Honduras will qualify if it wins its match and Haiti loses or draws. If both win or draw, goal differential will be the deciding factor, where Los Catrachos currently hold a two-goal advantage.

Haiti may qualify if they win their match and Honduras ties or losses. If both win, Haiti will also advance if it ties or bests Honduras on goal difference.

Costa Rica can also directly qualify if they beat Honduras, and Haiti loses or draws.

Honduras will visit Costa Rica on Tuesday, while Haiti hosts Nicaragua simultaneously.
