New Zealand's World Cup group: Belgium, Egypt, Iran await

New Zealand have been drawn into Group G at the 2026 World Cup alongside Belgium, Egypt, and Iran. It's a tough assignment for the All Whites, with Belgium bringing a golden generation into what may be their last major run together, Egypt powered by a prime Mohamed Salah, and Iran carrying a hardened tournament pedigree that has seen them push bigger nations. The group winner is widely expected to come from Europe, but your opening match against Iran could define the campaign, get a result there and the door stays open heading into the Egypt and Belgium tests.
