A new World Cup is approaching and the national teams are preparing to get one of the long-awaited tickets that will allow them to participate in the international competition. 

How do Qatar 2022 berths work in South America?

The format consists of round-robin matches between all participants, with a total of 18 matches due to the fact that there are 10 teams. 

How many teams qualify from Conmebol?

The national teams fight for 4.5 places, that is, four automatic spots and one for a playoff, which in the last edition was against the winner of the Oceania qualifiers. This year, what will change is the fixture, since a new draw will be made for the pairings for all the dates of dispute.

Who will qualify from Conmebol to Qatar 2022?

Brazil and Argentina have secured their spots in Qatar, with three remaining matches in the qualifiers for both nations, the fierce rivals are fighting for first place. Brazil currently sits at the top of the table with 39 points while Argentina sits second with 35 points.

Ecuador follows with 25 points in third place, Uruguay in fourth place with 22 points, and in the playoffs zone, Peru with 21 points. At the moment and with two remaining matches of the qualifiers (except for Brazil and Argentina) those are the nations that have a ticket to the World Cup.
