2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group H
Updated: 12/11/2025, 2:03:19 PM Wikipedia source
The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group H was one of the twelve UEFA groups in the World Cup qualification tournament to decide which teams would qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Group H consisted of five teams: Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Romania and San Marino. The teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format from March to November 2025. However, as Austria were involved in the Nations League promotion/relegation play-offs in March, they began their qualifying campaign in June 2025. The group winners, Austria, qualified directly for the World Cup finals, while the runners-up, Bosnia and Herzegovina, advanced to the second round (play-offs). In addition, Romania advanced to the play-offs via their Nations League ranking.
