The qualifying system in America will be the same as in 2019, with four groups of four teams, playing all against all. The first three will advance to a second round of 12 countries, which will be divided into two zones of six, a stage to which they drag the results against the opponents they have already faced. Of these six zones, the first three will get a direct ticket to the World Cup, just like the best fourth. In total, then, there will be seven tickets to America.
This is the composition of groups by continent.
