Group G showcases African football's growing power alongside European quality. Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and three-time World Cup quarterfinalists, face Egypt — who have qualified for the first time since 1990. Poland bring quality through Robert Lewandowski's successor generation. Australia, who reached the quarterfinals in 2022, are a well-organized team capable of upsetting stronger opponents.
