New Rules for the 2026 World Cup
2026年世界盃新規則
Introduction
FIFA has a new way to pick the best teams in the 2026 World Cup.
FIFA 採取了一種新方法來挑選 2026 年世界盃的最佳球隊。
Main Body
Now, FIFA looks at the games between two teams first. Before, they looked at the total goals. This new rule is fair. It stops teams from winning just because they score many goals against weak teams.
現在 FIFA 會先查看兩隊之間的對賽結果。以前他們查看的是總進球數。這個新規則很公平，能防止球隊僅因對陣弱隊進球數較多而獲勝。
Teams can now win their group faster. For example, Mexico is already first in Group A. Because of this, some top teams might use different players in their last game.
球隊現在可以更快地贏得分組冠軍。例如，墨西哥已經在 A 組排名第一。因此，一些頂尖球隊可能會在最後一場比賽中使用不同的球員。
There are now 48 teams in the tournament. Eight teams in third place can still go to the next round. FIFA uses points and total goals to pick these eight teams.
現在賽事共有 48 支球隊。八支排名第三的球隊仍有機會晉級下一輪。FIFA 使用積分和總進球數來挑選這八支球隊。
Conclusion
The 2026 World Cup uses head-to-head results first. This changes how teams play their last games.
2026 年世界盃優先採用對賽結果。這改變了球隊進行最後一場比賽的方式。
