Which teams are in the World Cup draw 2022? Complete list of countries, pots, seeds and FIFA rankings

The countdown to the Qatar 2022 World Cup has begun. The draw for the showpiece tournament will be held on April 1, more than seven months before the event kicks off on Nov. 21.

As is customary, the tournament will run for roughly a month with the final held on Sunday, Dec. 18 at the Lusail Stadium. The 32 participating teams will all be dreaming of surviving the six matches leading up to the title match and succeeding 2018 winners France as world champs.



The 2022 edition is not only the first to be played in the Middle East, but it's also the last one under the current format before the event is expanded to 48 teams for the 2026 version.

For most countries it will be an achievement to simply qualify for Qatar. Due to scheduling havoc wreaked by COVID-19, three spots to join the field of 32 will be decided in June, a few months after the group-stage draw on April 1.


When is the World Cup draw 2022?

The 2022 World Cup Draw will take place in Doha, Qatar on April 1.

By that stage, 29 of the 32 nations will be decided with three spots that will still remain unclaimed.

The two FIFA intercontinental playoffs will take place in June, as will the playoff final for last berth granted to Europe. Wales or Austria are scheduled to host Scotland or Ukraine in that winner-take-all match.

Which teams are in the World Cup Draw 2022?
