The road to the Qatar 2022 World Cup continues.

There are already 29 teams classified for the top football event, including the host, and the remaining three places will be defined in playoffs scheduled for June.

Repechage between South America and Asia: who is Peru going against for the pass to Qatar 2022?

Peru won its match against Paraguay 2-0 on the last day of the South American qualifiers, with which it secured its ticket to the intercontinental playoffs by passing to Qatar and, incidentally, left Colombia and Chile without the World Cup.

Thanks to its victory against the Paraguayan team, Peru finished in fifth place and, with it, took the pass to the playoffs.

Peru will play for a ticket to Qatar 2022 against the winner of the match between the United Arab Emirates and Australia.

Both countries were the best third of their groups in Asia, thus earning the chance of an extra match to reach the intercontinental playoffs.

  • The United Arab Emirates and Australia will play their match on June 7 in Doha (the capital of Qatar), according to FIFA.

  • The winner of that match will play against Peru on June 13 or 14 (still to be defined) in Doha.

    That's where the ticket to the World Cup is defined.

The European Playoff

In addition to the intercontinental playoffs that give two tickets to the World Cup, there is also a playoff in Europe.

This playoff will be played between Wales and the winner of the Scotland vs.

Ukraine.

The key has been suspended indefinitely due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine coach Oleksandr Petrakov said "we are supposed to play Scotland in June, as well as Nations League games, but we can't think about them at the moment given the current situation."

In this context, the situation is as follows:

  • The game Scotland vs.

    Ukraine, still pending date.

  • The meeting for the pass to the World Cup between Wales and the winner of Scotland vs.

    Ukraine, also pending.

  • So far, FIFA says they will be played at a later date.
