The last international break in football before World Cup 2026 in June takes place later this week and the following week, with some key matches: the Inter-Confederation play-offs and final stage of the European qualifiers, with the six remaining places for World Cup, and countries like Italy, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, and Czech Republic still in contention.
The rest of countries that already qualified for World Cup (or didn't) will still play in March, between March 25 and March 31, a series of friendlies with little importance beyond serving as a dress rehearsal for World Cup in June. Here are all the friendlies you can follow this month:
