The Stakes: A World Cup Spot on the Line
This is as straightforward as it gets: win and you’re headed to the World Cup. The victor will move into Group I, joining France, Senegal, and Norway in the 48-team tournament.
For Iraq, this is a chance to return to the World Cup for the first time since 1986, ending a nearly four-decade absence. Their path to this match was unique, earning an automatic spot in the final thanks to their FIFA ranking among playoff teams.
Bolivia’s lengthy drought could also come to an end, with their last appearance coming back in 1994. After navigating the semifinal round with a 2-1 win over Suriname, they now sit just one result away from a long-awaited return to the global stage.
