2026 World Cup draw: AI predicts the groups

Just hours before the official draw for the 2026 World Cup, simulation exercises are in full swing. Among the most talked-about projections, the one generated by artificial intelligence provides a fascinating—and sometimes surprising—glimpse at the possible groups for the tournament set to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Without claiming to predict the future, this simulation mainly helps to assess the balance, potential marquee matchups, and the imagined paths the competition could take.

Here are the simulated groups:Group A: Mexico – Paraguay – Switzerland – Cape VerdeGroup B: Canada – Ghana – Norway – ColombiaGroup C: Netherlands – Ecuador – Jordan – TunisiaGroup D: United States – Qatar – Austria – DenmarkGroup E: Germany – Turkey – Uzbekistan – UruguayGroup F: Portugal – South Korea – New Zealand – South AfricaGroup G: Belgium – Ivory Coast – Japan – PolandGroup H: Argentina – Iraq – Algeria – CroatiaGroup I: Spain – Senegal – Haiti – Saudi ArabiaGroup J: France – Panama – Morocco – Northern IrelandGroup K: Brazil – DR Congo – Scotland – AustraliaGroup L: England – Iran – Curaçao – Egypt
