El Salvador and Puerto Rico kick off qualifying for the 2026 World Cup with a match at Estadio Cuscatlán on Thursday night.
The two countries have been drawn into Group F of the second round of Concacaf qualification, with the top two teams in the five-nation group advancing to the final round of qualifiers.
With the USA, Mexico and Canada automatically qualifying as hosts, there is opportunity for up to five more Concacaf teams to join them. Three Concacaf teams will qualify for the 48-team tournament automatically, with two inter-confederation playoff slots also available.
