The time has almost come for the biggest tournament on Earth to take place, with the 2026 edition being held across the USA, Canada and Mexico. And there will be Leicester City involvement in the competition, representing three different nations.

For Australia, Souttar has got the nod to be included in the Socceroos’ 26-man squad after recovering from a long-term injury towards the end of the 25/26 season, linking back up with the national team for the first time in 18 months.

After a narrow defeat to Mexico last week, Tony Popovic’s side will play Switzerland in their final warm-up fixture on Saturday, at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

Australia’s first Group D fixture is in Vancouver, facing Türkiye on Saturday 13 June, before meeting hosts USA in Seattle six days later and concluding the group stage against Paraguay in San Francisco on Thursday 25 June.

Elsewhere, Abdul Fatawu is in the Ghana squad heading to North America this month, alongside departing striker Jordan Ayew.

Following Tuesday night’s friendly against Wales, a 1-1 draw, attention will turn to taking on Panama on Thursday 18 June in the Black Stars’ opening Group L match in Toronto.

It’s then England up next for Carlos Queiroz’s men at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Tuesday 23 June, prior to their contest with Croatia four days later.

Morocco, meanwhile, will contest Group C alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti. Bilal El Khannouss, on loan at VfB Stuttgart across last season, has made the cut for the Atlas Lions, who will play five-time winners Brazil in their opening match in New Jersey on Saturday 13 June.

Heading to Boston on 19 June to face the Scots, a meeting with Haiti in Atlanta will follow for Mohamed Ouahbi's men on 24 June. Before it all gets underway, the African nation have two friendlies, beating Madagascar 4-0 on Tuesday, and then Norway.

Good luck, lads!
