FIFA WC Draws LIVE – Qualified Teams FIFA WC: WHICH COUNTRIES ARE LEFT TO QUALIFY?
With 27 countries having already sealed their spot, that leaves 5 places left for countries to battle it out for.
- One of those will go to a European nation, with the war in Ukraine slowing down the play-off process for UEFA.
- While Poland and Portugal won their matches this week to seal their spot, Wales are waiting to see whether they’ll face Scotland or Ukraine for a spot in Qatar. That game is likely to go ahead in June and will complete the line-up.
- CONCACAF’s qualification process is also very close to completion. Canada are currently the only side assured of their spot. Below them, the USA and Mexico are very likely to be in Qatar too. They hold a three-point lead over Costa Rica in fourth.
- On Thursday, Costa Rica face the USA and they need to win and overturn a 10-goal difference, while Mexico will be assured of their spot if they can get a point against El Salvador, or if they lose and Costa Rica fail to beat the USA by less than three goals.
- Assuming no completely bizarre goals occur, the USA and Mexico will head to Qatar, leaving Costa Rica to play in an inter-confederation play-off.
-
Their game will be against the winner of the OFC Final, with the Solomon Islands set to face off against New Zealand in Doha on Wednesday to see who makes it to the final step of the qualification process.
-
The winner of that match will head to Qatar, leaving us with one final spot not accounted for of the 32 teams.
In CONMEBOL, Peru finished 5th, just shy of the automatic places but still enough to book them a play-off spot, and they will face an AFC competitor – either Australia or the United Arab Emirates, who face each other on June 7.
How FIFA World Cup Draw Works?
The 32 teams that qualify for the World Cup are divided into four pots, each of which is comprised of eight sides. Teams will then be picked out from each pot and placed into eight groups. Pot 1 will be drawn from first, followed by Pot 2, Pot 3 and finally Pot 4.
In total, there are four seeding categories which are based on the FIFA rankings which will be published this year on March 31.
- Pot 1, therefore, features hosts Qatar and the seven highest-ranked qualified teams.
- The next pot is made up of the next eight highest-ranked qualifiers, while Pot 3 includes the next eight best-ranked qualified teams after Pot 2.
- Pot 4 comprises the next five highest-ranked qualified teams, as well as placeholders for the two intercontinental play-off winners and last UEFA play-off winner.
WHO WILL BE THE SEEDED NATIONS?
Scotland and Wales will be with the lowest-ranked seeds for the tournament. The seeding for nations who have qualified by the time of the draw will be determined by the FIFA rankings due to be published on March 31.
England are currently ranked 5th in the world, with Belgium, Brazil, France and Argentina the only countries above them. Portugal will be seeded, too.
Which means that England could be drawn in the same group as Germany – who are ranked 11th and in the pot of second seeds.
FIFA, meanwhile, revealed the three teams still fighting along the play-off path by the time of the draw will be treated as just one entrant. They will be placed in Pot 4, along with the lowest-ranked nations.
