How many teams from Asia qualify for World Cup?
Five teams from the AFC have pledged to take part in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar got an automatic pass as host, before Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea joined after three AFC qualifying rounds.
For the first time ever, the AFC could have six teams in the World Cup, depending on who wins the inter-league playoffs.
The United Arab Emirates and Australia, which have been members of the AFC since leaving the Oceania Football Confederation in 2006, will meet in the Asian Confederations play-off in Doha on June 7.
The winner of that game will play Peru a week later for a place at the 2022 Olympics in Qatar.
