The trend of the World Cup in September, traditional European teams make efforts, South America is about to end

The first new version of the Club World Cup was held after the international competition day in June this year, followed by a long period of mainstream events. A new international competition day came after three months. This is also the first international competition day after the five major leagues opened up the war. The main events held in this international competition day in September include: the European World Cup and the South American World Cup. Let’s take a look at what are the exciting highlights.

European World Cup qualifiers

As some countries played the UEFA Europa League relegation playoffs, semi-finals and finals in the previous two international match days (March and June), about half of the countries did not officially start the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup European qualifiers until this September international match day, including strong teams such as Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, and the other half of the countries have played 2-4 rounds of group matches. It is worth noting that Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and Switzerland have only 4 teams in the six groups, which is two rounds less schedule than other groups with 5 teams.

Characteristics

As we all know, the World Cup qualifiers are related to the quota of the World Cup, and the importance the national teams attach to it can be seen. If you do your best, there will be no slightest slightest. Often, the strength of the World Cup in Europe is very different, mainly on the right path, and the probability of unpopularity is extremely small.

Highlights

Italy announced in June that Gattuso would take office. Instead of Spaletti, who led the team with poor performance, Gattuso will make his national team's debut in this international competition.

In this summer window, Yorkress and Isaac are undoubtedly the protagonists of the transfer soap opera. In the end, they both dreamed of becoming true to join the club they like. The two hot strikers are both Swedes, and their cooperation on this international match day will undoubtedly attract the attention of many people.

Germany has always performed well in the opening match of the competition. It is worth paying attention to whether the German tank can push again in the first game.

Qualified Golden Globe winner Dembele will represent the national team on this international match day. The Golden Globe Award will be awarded on September 22, which is his last chance to perform in the national team before the awards.

Ronaldo (Portugal) and Modric (Croatia) will continue to fight for their respective countries, and they will be stronger.

Lewandow was removed from his captain position on the June international match day, but Poland performed poorly at that time, and coach Probilds was dismissed. Lewandow returned to the national team on this international match day and served as captain again.

The World Cup qualifiers

The general trend of South America due to the expansion of the Club World Cup, South America will have 6.5 places, and basically all traditional strong teams will qualify. This international match day will start the final battle of the South American World Cup qualifiers (the last two rounds), and Argentina, Ecuador and Brazil have already qualified two rounds ahead of schedule. Uruguay and Paraguay can qualify one round ahead of schedule if they score another point. If Colombia wins against Bolivia, they will qualify one round ahead of schedule.

Highlights

Argentine media have confirmed that home match against Venezuela is the last official local game before the 2026 World Cup in Argentina. Even if there is a friendly match in the future, there will be no more passion for fighting under the pressure of points. This may mean that Messi will complete the last official national team match of his career in his homeland (the match was played in Buenos Aires) against Venezuela.

This time, Ancelotti did not recruit stars such as Vinicius and Rodrigo. When the team qualifies early, it aims to train troops and practice tactics.
