(4/4) And here's the projected pots. (Again, based on the August 2024 rankings.)

The teams in Pot 4 with asterisks (*) are the winners of the inter-confed play-offs.

If Mexico and Costa Rica are co-hosts, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago could qualify. Also, South Africa could move up to Pot 3.

(3/4) Based on the above slot allocations, here are the teams expected to qualify (based solely on FIFA rankings, as of August 2024).

• "Should" and "May" = expected direct qualifiers
• "Play-offs" = expected to qualify for the inter-confederation playoffs
• "Honorable mentions" = last teams out
May 10, 2025 at 12:56 AM
(2/4) This is a projected allocation of slots per confederation, which includes two generic slots for hosts plus four inter-confederation playoff slots.

It's unclear how many hosts there will be for the 2031 WWC. At least three seems to be likely (USA, probably Mexico, plus ???).
