– Region 4 has Groups J/K/L
Here’s the kicker! The teams are then seeded by each of their combined social media followings – including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube. And some of these times have some big-time followings. We’ve given the top four seeds (Brazil, USA, France, and Argentina) byes in the bracket.

This would be the ultimate World Cup matchup if we were talking about interior design. But in this instance, it’s the Japanese fans (and their amazing penchant for cleaning up after themselves at stadiums) and Swedish fans (and their penchant for wearing Viking helmets).
Lots of orange here! But two amazing groups of fans here. Ivory Coast supporters love to dress up and show out for their squad. And you’ll never miss when a mass of boisterous Netherlands fans arrives at a stadium.
With one of the most passionate fanbases in South America, Paraguay will lean on its supporters throughout the tournament. Tunisia will also plenty of followers as the team now has back-to-back World Cup appearances.
