@sports_multiverse_studio: The 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially entered the Round of 32, as the expanded 48-team tournament is now down to 32 nations. Sixteen knockout matches will decide who moves on to the Round of 16, and the biggest names in world football are still at the center of the spotlight. Lionel Messi leads Argentina into the knockout stage, continuing what could be one of his final World Cup runs. Cristiano Ronaldo remains the headline figure for Portugal, with another chance to add to his historic international legacy. France enters the next round with Kylian Mbappé as its biggest attacking weapon, while Norway’s Erling Haaland brings one of the tournament’s most dangerous goal-scoring threats into the knockout stage. With Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé, and Haaland all still alive, the Round of 32 has become one of the most star-powered stages in World Cup history. From here, every match is single elimination. One goal can change a legacy. One mistake can send a favorite home. And one superstar performance can define the entire tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout stage begins now, and the road to the final is officially underway.
