Cómo funcionará el sistema de mejores terceros que debutará en el Mundial 2026

The 2026 World Cup will introduce a new system to include the best third-place teams from each group, expanding the tournament to 48 teams. This system rewards both performance and fair play, ensuring that teams with the best records, even if they don't finish first or second, get a chance to compete. This marks a significant shift in how tournaments are structured, potentially increasing unpredictability and excitement, as teams that might otherwise be overlooked now have a legitimate shot at advancing. It's a change that could reshape the dynamics of international soccer competitions.
