Towards the end of March, a new round of international competition will begin again. For most of the world's continents, this schedule is the most important one, because after all the competitions are completed, the places for the World Cup at the end of this year will be decided, so let's take a look at what to watch.
1. Asia
The situation in the two groups in Asia is actually quite clear, Iran and South Korea in Group A have definitely qualified, just to see who can get the first place, as for the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Iraq will compete for the third place in the group to move to the play-offs. In Group B, Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia hope to qualify for the first two places in the group, and the competition will not fall to third place and the night is long.
2. African Region
There will be five World Cup play-offs in the African zone, and nine of them will participate in the earlier Africa Cup of Nations, except for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is the more mysterious team. As for the drama, the head-to-head clash between Egypt and Senegal will be the focus and a replica of the Africa Cup final. In addition, Mali is the only team among the ten teams that has not played in the World Cup, depending on whether they can beat Tunisia.
3. North America and the Caribbean
In North America and the Caribbean, the United States, Mexico and Canada can be said to be standing on the top, and the chance of direct qualification can be said to be ten to nine, and the fourth place play-off seat is inseparable from the battle between Panama and Costa Rica.
4. South America
Brazil and Argentina have already qualified in the South American division, and it is believed that Ecuador will soon lock up the qualifying place, but the remaining four or five teams will continue to fight to the end, including Chile, Peru, Colombia and Uruguay, I believe the situation must be quite fierce.
5. Oceania Region
Since the Oceania division only has 0.5 seats, even if you can break through, you may not be able to participate in the World Cup finals. Of course, it is generally estimated that New Zealand's strength should be a stronger team.
6. European Zone
Finally, the European zone is believed to be the most fan-focused. With the exception of Russia, Poland will be the first to reach the play-off finals, while other teams will need to pass two levels to qualify for the World Cup, and the focus may be Portugal vs. Turkey, and Italy vs. North Macedonia.
