If you are talking about teams such as Japan and Iran, then yes. The gap between them and the other teams are quite huge within the confederation. But these are well established teams. I was happy to see Uzbekistan and Jordan qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I don't know how they are going to perform, but their inclusion will add more diversity and enthusiasm for sure. The two most populous nations lost out (India and China). If they can't qualify with so many available slots, then I don't know what to do with these two teams.

In last few years just three Asian teams able to perform consistently South Korea, Japan and Iran relatively others are having huge difference of quality which making them problematic in FIFA World Cup, but Uzbekistan is going to be good as well because they are having good depth.

Jordan is surely going to be have not good results but still they needed to be work hard for having better results missing out of teams like China and India is surely huge setback for mega event, but sadly both countries fail to develop their structure and also have good skilled players which can bring good results for them. No doubt it's matter of shame for them country like Qatar is having chance if world cup with Iraq which is facing serious internal issues also having chance, but these big countries fail to bring good results and also have no chance of participation even now 48 countries are allowed.
