What changed with the 26-man squad rule?
Teams now register three extra players versus Qatar 2022. That usually means:
- A dedicated third goalkeeper or versatile defensive cover
- More attacking options for extra-time and knockout congestion
- Less risk when a late injury hits before the first group match
FIFA's PDF lists GK, DF, MF and FW for each row. GK — Goalkeeper; DF — Defender; MF — Midfielder; FW — Forward.
