Under Oleksandr Kosenko's guidance, they topped their group and earned a direct ticket to the World Cup. Alongside Ukraine, Europe's qualifiers include Kazakhstan, France, Spain, and Portugal. The remaining two spots were recently filled after the playoff matches, where Netherlands defeated Finland, and Croatia overcame Poland. Additionally, four spots were contested in the CONCACAF zone. All participants of the final tournament will be known by April 24th, following the conclusion of regional qualification matches.
