Costa Rica was the last country to qualify for the tournament, with Australia booking their place a day earlier with a dramatic shootout win. Wales claimed the 30th spot with a win over Ukraine earlier in the international window.
New Zealand appeared to tie the match up in the first half, but the goal was disallowed following a review.
Canada qualified in March after topping the CONCACAF region, and will be facing off against Belgium, Croatia, and Morocco in the group stage of this year’s tournament. Costa Rica finished fourth in CONCACAF, before beating New Zealand to claim the final World Cup berth.
