In What Manner will the World Cup 2022 draw be Conducted?
On the basis of the latest FIFA world rankings, which were issued on March 31st, the 32 qualified teams will be broken up into four groups. The three open positions will be filled with a placeholder.
Hosts Qatar will automatically be placed in Group A alongside the other seven best-ranked nations at the FIFA World Cup, as is traditional.
Teams from each of the pots will be chosen into eight groups of four for Groups A through H.
It’s not allowed to have more than one team from each region, save in the case of Europe (UEFA), which has 13 seats allocated to its members.

Who is eligible to travel to Europe on a regular basis? Champions League group stages are traditionally reserved for the top four teams in the Premier League (more on that later). First- and second-placed teams in their respective leagues qualify for the Europa League groups, while the Carabao Cup champions advance to the second qualifying round.
Ahead of their Match against Switzerland in the FIFA World Cup Qualifying Round, Italy has lost two more Midfielders
In Group C, Italy and Switzerland both have 14 points, but the European champion has a two-goal advantage in the tiebreaker due to a higher goal difference.
The injury list for both Italy and Switzerland grew further before of Friday’s crucial FIFA World Cup Qualifier in Rome. The latest football news can be found here.
Nicolo Zaniolo and Lorenzo Pellegrini will return to Roma, according to coach Roberto Mancini, who is already without regular starter Marco Verratti due to injury. There is an injury to Pellegrini’s knee and a problem with Zaniolo’s left calf. Both players were unable to compete in Italy’s triumphant run at the European Championships.
winger Steven Zuber was the fourth member of Switzerland’s team to withdraw due to injury, joining captain Granit Xhaka and striker Haris Seferovic, who have both been sidelined for some time.
It’s a two-goal margin between the European champions of Italy and Switzerland at the top of Group C.
Only the winner of this year’s competition will be guaranteed a spot in the finals in Qatar next year. Finals are set for March and require a win over two opponents for the second-placed club.
Matteo Pessina and Danilo Cataldi have replaced Zaniolo and Pellegrini in Mancini’s starting lineup. A stoppage-time replacement in Atalanta’s 2-1 triumph over Cagliari at the weekend, Pessino has only just returned from injury after winning Euro 2020.
Cataldi, a 27-year-old midfielder for Lazio, has never represented Italy before, and his lone prior call-up to the national team came five years ago.
Nicolo Barella, the Inter Milan midfielder who was substituted in Sunday’s derby against AC Milan after picking up a knock, is expected to heal in time to play for Italy.
Former Fiorentina defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini have been cleared to play after being sidelined for the weekend’s Serie A match against Juventus’ rivals.
We must not feel any pressure in our preparations, despite the fact that this is a crucial match, according to Mancini.
“We must maintain the greatest possible calm. Matches against Switzerland are notoriously difficult, and that will be the case again on Friday.”
Earlier this month, Italy’s 37-match unbeaten streak came to an end against Spain in a Nations League semi-final.
Next Monday in Belfast, Italy takes on Northern Ireland following their game against Switzerland. In the final matchup, the Swiss will face Bulgaria.
In the Euro 2020 qualifying round, Italy defeated Switzerland 3-0 in Rome. In a World Cup qualifying match played in Basel, Switzerland, the teams drew a stalemate.
