Everyone wants to know: which teams are in the group of death for the 2026 World Cup? Well, the "group of death" may be officially dead.

For many national teams, how they handle and recover from extensive travel could make or break their World Cup next summer.

Every 2026 World Cup game will pause for three-minute "hydration breaks" in each half, FIFA has announced.
