After the 9th round of the 3rd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, Asia has three more teams winning tickets to the final round: South Korea, Jordan and Uzbekistan.

These three teams, along with the two teams that previously won tickets to the 2026 World Cup, Japan and Iran, have determined 5/6 official spots in North America next summer.

Asia has one more official ticket to the World Cup, which will be determined after the confrontation between Saudi Arabia and Australia (Group C). The match will be broadcast live on K+Sport1 at 1:15 am on June 11.

After 9 matches, the Australian team has 16 points, 3 points more than Saudi Arabia. Not to mention Australia's goal difference is +8, while Saudi Arabia's is 0. So in the final match, Australia only needs to draw or not lose with a difference of 5 goals to win a ticket to the World Cup.

Experts rate Australia's chances of qualifying for the World Cup very bright. Losing by 5 goals is very unlikely because the two teams are quite similar in level. In another notable development, Oman will face Palestine to compete for a ticket to the play-off round. This match will take place at 1:15 am and will be broadcast live on K+Action.

Oman currently has 10 points, temporarily ranked fourth. In the final match, Oman only needs a draw to get a ticket to the play-off round, continuing to nurture the ambition of participating in the 2026 World Cup.

In addition to the two notable matches mentioned above, fans cannot miss other notable matches: Japan - Indonesia (5:35 p.m. June 10), China - Bahrain (6:00 p.m. June 10), Uzbekistan - North Korea (8:45 p.m. June 10).
