WC Logo		WC Mascot (TBD)

COMPETITION SYSTEM

· 208 national teams enter a Qualifying Stage (hosts USA, Mexico and Canada are exempt from this round), divided into 17 geographic groups. The group winners, together with a variable number of best ranked teams, qualify for the Final Stage in the three North American countries (the twelve group runners-up of the European Zone and the four best Nations League group winners play two knock-out rounds in order to earn four more berths in the Final Stage).

· The 48 teams qualified for the Final Stage are divided in 12 groups of 4 teams each playing a round robin. In case that two or more teams finish level on points, their position is decided by general goal difference.

· The group winners and runners-up, together with the 8 best third-placed teams, advance to a knock-out Round of 32, played as an X-pairing. The winners move to eightfinals, quarterfinals and further semifinals, and the two surviving teams at the end of these knock-out rounds qualify for the final.
