The road to Qatar 2022 has been made crystal clear for South America’s 10 nations.
The draw for World Cup Qualifying in CONMEBOL took place in Asuncion, Paraguay on Tuesday morning, and it revealed the complete 18-round schedules that will begin next March and stretch over two years for the South American countries.
Matchday 1 will see Uruguay play Chile, Colombia take on Venezuela, Brazil face off with Bolivia, Paraguay battle Peru, and Argentina fight Ecuador.
The pair of SuperClasicos between traditional heavyweights Brazil and Argentina will take place on Matchdays 6 and 14. The Brazilians will host the first meeting on October 13, 2020 while the Argentines will play in front of their fans on September 7, 2021.
Once again, all 10 nations will play each other home and away in this typically intense qualifying format. The top four finishers will automatically advance to the World Cup in Qatar, while the fifth-placed team will take on the winner of Oceania’s qualifying stage in a two-legged playoff for a spot in the 2022 tournament.
