FIFA World Cup Draws LIVE – Qualified Teams FIFA WC: WHICH COUNTRIES ARE LEFT TO QUALIFY?

With 29 countries having already sealed their spot, that leaves 3 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 involves Canada, USA and Mexico who have booked their places for Qatar. They hold a three-point lead over Costa Rica in fourth who will play the inter-confederation playoff.
• 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.
