Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)

The oceanic teams still do not have a defined representative to play the playoffs against a team from another Confederation, something that will only be known at the beginning of 2022. The 11 teams that make up the OFC will be divided into two groups and will face each other, passing the top two from each zone to the playoffs. Whoever is the winner, will have the possibility of accessing the play-off against a team from another continent, since FIFA does not contemplate direct qualifiers from Oceania to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. By background and level, the team that in theory would access that key would be New Zealand, who already played the playoffs for Russia 2018 against Peru, who finally qualified for the World Cup.
