Canada’s path to the 2022 World Cup becomes clearer, writes KristianJack. MORE:
Canada’s path to the 2022 FIFA World Cup became a lot clearer on Monday when a new qualification format was unveiled by CONCACAF.
That leaves 30 different countries to play two rounds of competition to fill out the remaining three positions in the final round of qualifying. This is similar to how the Nations League qualifying rounds were set up, where Canada won all four matches from September 2018 to March 2019. The six group winners will move on to phase two of qualifying where they will be drawn together for three two-legged ties to secure the final three slots in the new octagonal final qualifying process. Should all six seeded teams advance from phase one they would be El Salvador, Canada, Curacao, Panama, Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago.
Canada will welcome the new format as it now gives the team a realistic opportunity to receive an invite to the top table in the region and go up against the likes of Mexico, USA and Costa Rica as they battle to make the World Cup.
