How do play-offs work?
Joined by the 10 second-place finishers in the play-offs are the two highest-ranked teams in the Nations League that have not already qualified or finished in runners-up places (currently Wales and Austria).
And the play-offs for this World Cup are tougher than ever.
Instead of the traditional two-legged format, the 2022 World Cup campaign features 12 teams in three four-team paths, with two one-legged semi-finals and a final in each path.
The unprecedented Qatar World Cup takes place from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
