Days after Panama qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, FIFA banned the country's federation president for failing to respect a previous ban imposed for fat-shaming a women's national team star.

The race to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is drawing to a close. Here's how it's looking around the globe.

Italy will first host Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifying playoff in March but would then need to win on the road to reach its first tournament after back-to-back failures at this stage.
