World Cup Qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

There will be World Cup qualifiers for the FIFA worldcup22. A series of qualifying games will determine which teams will advance to the World Cup in Qatar. 31 teams will compete in the tournament, with the hosts receiving an automatic spot. Here are a few details about the qualifiers. Read on to find out more about the countries involved, the countries that will host the final group matches, and the Top three nations.


Confederations involved


The World Cup qualifiers for the 2022 edition of the tournament will involve a number of confederations. The first phase of the qualifiers will be held in June, with a single nation from each region participating in two matches. The final qualifiers for the tournament will be from Asia, South America, North America and Oceania. On June 13, Australia qualified for its fifth World Cup in as many tournaments, defeating Peru 1-0 in a penalty shootout. The Australians have now qualified for their fifth World Cup since qualifying in 2002.


After the first round, the top two teams from each group go through directly to the knockout stage, where they will face each other once again. The third-placed team will then play in an inter-confederation play-off to determine a spot in the final. The AFC, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF and OFC will face each other in the inter-confederation play-off.


Matches to be played in Switzerland


Switzerland is in good form. They have won four of their last five World Cup qualifiers and have been unbeaten in the process. They've had some impressive players come through, including current Borussia Monchengladbach players Nico Elvedi and Denis Zakaria. They also have a strong attacking midfielder in Breel Embolo. Their team also has its own folk hero.

The European qualifying group consists of 13 teams, with France and Belgium leading the way. Other nations in the group include England, Spain, and Germany. Brazil and Argentina will also be participating in the tournament. Italy, meanwhile, will be missing the tournament for a second cycle in a row, after losing to North Macedonia in a playoff match.


Countries that will host final group matches


The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled for Qatar by the end of the year. Among the nations that will compete, the favorites are Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany, and England. However, there are some notable countries that are unlikely to make the cut. Here's a look at the countries that will make the final stages of the qualifying round.


The top two teams from each group will qualify for the tournament. Top teams in each region will qualify for the World Cup. The first two teams will go to the Africa group and the second and third will go to the Americas. The four other teams will qualify for the Asia region.


Top three nations to qualify for 2022 World Cup


Tunisia has never made it out of the group stages in any World Cup tournament. That may be because the country is considered the weakest qualifier from Africa, but they do have a solid defensive line and a promising young midfielder in Hannibal Mejbri.


The Asian qualifiers were a mixed bag. Iran and Japan each went 8-1-1. Japan was second in its group. Spain is another team with a bright future. They won the Copa America last summer and are aiming to repeat their success. Morocco, meanwhile, are looking to make their first World Cup appearance since 1986. Ghana is also back after missing out in 2018, but are far from their 2010 performance.
