The start of the 2022 World Cup qualification is scheduled for March 24 next year.
In the European area, the samples are divided into ten subgroups, five by five samples and five by six samples. Ten group winners will qualify for the World Cup final, and ten second-place winners and two best UEFA Nations League teams will be in the “play-off” round, which will be outside the top two in the sub-groups.
In the elimination tournament, 12 teams will be divided into three “play-off” branches, where in March 2022 three more participants of the final tournament will be determined.
The 2022 World Cup finals will take place in Qatar, and due to the hot weather, the tournament will be played in the winter from November 21 to December 18.
In 2022, Qatar will host the last World Cup final, with 32 teams participating. The 2026 tournament, hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States, will feature 48 national teams.
Preparations for the World Cup final have not been without incidents, for example, the organizers are accused of corruption in order to obtain the right to organize the most ambitious sporting event in four years. Qatar has also received criticism from human rights organizations about poor labor conditions.
The current world champion is France, which beat Croatia 4: 2 in the final in Russia. Belgium took the third place, beating England 2: 0.
