Football World Cup 2022 / Qualification (UEFA)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The continental association UEFA

The Union of European Football Associations ( UEFA ) is sending 13 participants to the 2022 World Cup . All members of the 55 European associations take part in the qualification .

On December 9, 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced that Russia would be banned from all major sporting events for the next four years because of manipulated data from the Moscow laboratory. However, the Russian national team will take part in the qualification as the ban only applies to the finals. If Russia qualified, Russian footballers could possibly take part in the final round as a neutral team, that is, without the Russian flag and anthem.

FIFA regulations

In accordance with FIFA regulations, the preliminary round matches can be played in the form of group matches or matches according to the cup system, in each case in return matches, or in exceptional cases in tournament form in one of the participating countries or on a neutral court. In the group games, three points are awarded for a win and one for a draw. The following criteria are decisive:

  1. higher number of points
  2. better goal difference
  3. higher number of goals scored
  4. higher number of points from direct encounters between teams with the same points and goals
  5. better goal difference from the direct encounters between the teams with the same points and goals
  6. higher number of goals from direct encounters between teams with equal points and goals
  7. higher number of away goals from direct encounters between teams with the same points and goals if only two teams are affected.
  8. lower number of minus points through yellow and red cards (yellow card 1 minus point, yellow-red card 3 minus points, red card 4 minus points, yellow and red card 5 minus points)
  9. Drawing of lots

In the cup system, the higher number of away goals scored after both games are tied . If the number of away goals is the same, extra time is played. If no goal is scored in extra time, the match will be decided on penalties. If both teams score the same number of goals in extra time, the away team qualifies on the basis of the more away goals scored.

mode

The qualifying format was confirmed by the UEFA Executive Committee on December 4, 2019. Qualification depends in part on the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League results , albeit to a lesser extent than the 2021 European Championship .

The 55 teams registered at the time of the draw will be drawn into ten groups, including five groups of six and five groups of five teams (the four teams that advance to the Nations League final will be divided into smaller groups). The ten group winners qualify directly for the final round. Following the group stage, the three remaining starting places in play-offs between the ten runners -up and the two best group winners of the Nations League who are not placed first or second in their respective group will be awarded. These 12 teams are divided into 3 paths that play two rounds (semi-finals and final) in one encounter each, with the three winners qualifying for the world championship.

Events

The schedule for the qualifying matches is based on the concept of the English week : a matchday extends over a period of two or three consecutive days. On so-called double game days, the games take place from Thursday to Tuesday. Two games are played on the double game days, so each team plays either on Thursday and Sunday or on Friday and Monday or on Saturday and Tuesday. In the case of triple game days, the games take place from Wednesday to Wednesday. Three games are played on the triple game days, so each team plays either on Wednesday, Saturday and Tuesday or on Thursday, Sunday and Wednesday.

Play-off March 24, 2022 03/25/2022 03/28/2022 03/29/2022

Kick-off time is Saturdays and Sundays at 18:00 ME (S) Z and 20:45 ME (S) Z and on the other days of the week at 20:45 ME (S) Z. All games in a group take place on the same day.

Game days 3 and 4 were originally scheduled for June 3 to 8, 2021. Due to the rescheduling of UEFA Euro 2020, these dates cannot be met and were rescheduled by the introduction of triple match days in March and September 2021.

Group stage

draw

The draw for the first round took place on December 7, 2020 in Zurich . It was originally supposed to take place on November 29th.

On November 27th the pots were allocated according to the position in the FIFA world rankings of November 26th:

  • Pot 1: Belgium (1) France (2), England (4), Portugal (5), Spain (6), Italy (10), Croatia (11), Denmark (12), Germany (13) and the Netherlands ( 14).
  • Pot 2: Switzerland (16), Wales (18), Poland (19), Sweden (20), Austria (23), Ukraine (24), Serbia (30), Turkey (32), Slovakia (33) and Romania ( 37)
  • Pot 3: Russia (39), Hungary (40), Ireland (42), Czech Republic (42), Norway (44), Northern Ireland (45), Iceland (46), Scotland (48), Greece (53) and Finland ( 54)
  • Pot 4: Bosnia and Herzegovina (55), Slovenia (62), Montenegro (63), North Macedonia (65), Albania (66), Bulgaria (68), Israel (87), Belarus (88), Georgia (89) and Luxembourg (98)
  • Pot 5: Armenia (99), Cyprus (100), Faroe Islands (107), Azerbaijan (109), Estonia (109), Kosovo (117), Kazakhstan (122), Lithuania (129), Latvia (136) and Andorra ( 151)
  • Pot 6: Malta (176), Moldova (177), Liechtenstein (181), Gibraltar (195) and San Marino (210)

The following restrictions applied to the draw:

  • The teams from pot 6 were drawn into groups F to J.
  • Belgium, France, Italy and Spain were drawn into a group of five as they will take part in the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League Final Four tournament in autumn 2021 .
  • The following teams could not be drawn into a group for political reasons: Armenia and Azerbaijan, Gibraltar and Spain, Kosovo and Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo and Serbia, Kosovo and Russia, Russia and Ukraine
  • For climatic reasons, a maximum of 2 teams from the following countries could be drawn into a group: Estonia, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, whereby the Faroe Islands and Iceland could not be drawn into one group.
  • In addition, there were restrictions regarding the distances and so only one of the named countries could be drawn for the following countries:
    • Kazakhstan: Andorra, England, France, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain and Wales
    • Azerbaijan: Iceland, Gibraltar and Portugal
    • Iceland: Armenia, Georgia, Israel and Cyprus

Since Belarus and Estonia were drawn in the draw for the group with Finland and Ukraine and Kosovo in the group with Serbia, the teams were assigned to the next admissible group in alphabetical order.

At the invitation of UEFA, the World Cup host Qatar will be playing in the European qualifiers in order to gain competition experience. For this, the Qatarians were assigned to group A with European champions Portugal . The games against Qatar all take place in Europe as friendlies and are therefore not included in the rating.
