Group G – FIFA World Cup 2026

Group G contains Belgium, Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand. It is one of the few groups in the tournament that includes representatives from UEFA, CAF, AFC, and OFC, which gives it unusual stylistic variety.

Group G starts on June 15, 2026 with Belgium vs Egypt in Seattle, followed by Iran vs New Zealand at 01:00 UTC on June 16 in Los Angeles. The group concludes on June 27, 2026 when New Zealand vs Belgium and Egypt vs Iran kick off simultaneously.

Belgium have the strongest overall squad depth, the highest concentration of players from top European leagues, and the best recent World Cup finish in the group after taking third place in 2018. Even in a transitional cycle, they still have more match-winning quality than the other three teams.

Yes. Egypt have a genuine game-breaker in Mohamed Salah and enough structure to keep matches tight, while Iran are one of the most tactically disciplined teams in Asian football and rarely allow opponents an easy game. Over a three-match sample, one upset or one draw against Belgium could completely reshape the table.

Group G matches are scheduled across Seattle Stadium, Los Angeles Stadium, and BC Place Vancouver. That travel pattern keeps the section on the western side of North America and gives New Zealand two matches in Vancouver while Belgium split their group games between Seattle, Los Angeles, and Vancouver.
