2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC third round

December 17, 2023

The third round[note 1] of AFC matches for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification was played from 2 September 2021 to 29 March 2022.[1][2][3]

Format edit

The twelve teams that advanced from the second round (the seven group winners excluding Qatar and the five best group runners-up) were divided into two groups of six teams to play home-and-away round-robin matches. The top two teams of each group qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and the two third-placed teams advanced to the fourth round. World Cup hosts Qatar won Group E in the second round (which meant they advanced to the 2023 AFC Asian Cup finals) but were not required to qualify for the World Cup.

Draw and seeding edit

Each group contained one team from each of the six pots.

Notes edit

  1. ^ On the AFC's official YouTube page, "The AFC Hub," it is referred to as the Final Round.
  2. ^ This would usually be a "Best 4", but because the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts Qatar won their group (their participation in the second round was to secure a spot in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup), the draw for the third round of the former mentioned tournament's qualification included 5 runners-up instead.[4]
  3. ^ Qatar had already qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the tournament hosts, but competed in the second round as part of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification.
  4. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia, the match was played behind closed doors.
  5. ^ a b The Korean FA (South Korea) and Lebanese FA (Lebanon) agreed to switch the order of their home-and-away matches.[9]
  6. ^ a b c d e Due to the Syrian civil war, Syria played its home matches at neutral venues.
  7. ^ a b c d e Due to the security concerns, Iraq played its home matches at neutral venues.
  8. ^ a b Due to the border closures in Australia because of COVID-19 pandemic, Australia played its two home matches at neutral venues.
  9. ^ a b c d e Due to the quarantine restrictions in China because of COVID-19 pandemic, China played its home matches at neutral venues.
