When and Where will take place ?

World Cup Football Betting  ⚽ ?  The European Qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar run from 24 March to 16 November 2021.

How does it work?

There are two stages to qualifying:

Group stage

Teams will be split into ten groups of five or six (the four teams who reached the 2021 UEFA Nations League finals – Belgium, France, Italy, Spain – will be in the smaller groups). The ten group winners qualify for the World Cup.

Play-offs

The ten group winners qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

The ten group runners-up will be joined by the two best group winners from the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League overall ranking that have neither qualified directly for the final tournament as European Qualifiers group winners, nor entered the play-offs already as European Qualifiers group runners-up.

The 12 teams will be drawn into three play-off paths for one-off semi-finals and a final.

The three path winners qualify for the World Cup.
