With the final places at the 2022 Qatar World Cup on the verge of being completed, with only a few remaining in the summer, we look at which teams have booked their place at the tournament. Plus, we will break it down federation by federation as well as looking at the potential inter-confederation play-off match-ups.

'We're either all in this together or we're not' - Southgate not happy with Maguire booing

World Cup qualifying has been coming thick and fast as the final spots are confirmed ahead of Friday’s draw.

Remarkably, we still won’t know every team who will be playing at Qatar 2022 by the end of this window with the inter-confederation play-offs coming on June 13-14.

However, we are close to the final line-up, so let’s break it down (scroll to the bottom for the full list of qualified nations)...

Host nation

Qatar have long been confirmed for obvious reasons. It might be the last time for a while that we see a single team qualify automatically with a three-way host in 2026 (US, Canada and Mexico) and plenty of multi-team bids for 2030. Do with that information what you will.

Europe

Okay, so a quick rundown for those who might forget. 10 groups with either five or six teams. Top team qualifies automatically. The 10 runners-up as well as the two best Nations League group winners went into a 12-team play-off structure with three effective paths of four teams each that will provide three qualified teams.

The following list of qualified teams from Europe.

Germany
Denmark
France
Belgium
Croatia
Spain
Serbia
England
Switzerland
Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
Wales

South America

Far easier format here. 10 South American teams play each other home and away. Top four go through automatically and the fifth team goes into inter-confederation play-offs. Here are the representatives.

Brazil
Argentina
Ecuador
Uruguay
Peru go to inter-confederation play-off

Africa

Three rounds (knockouts then group stage then knockouts) leaves us with five teams to represent Africa. Those five have been confirmed tonight following the culmination of the two-legged play-offs.

Senegal
Cameroon
Ghana
Morocco
Tunisia

North America

Three rounds leaves us with eight teams battling for three automatic spots and one inter-confederation place. Here are the teams that are through.

Canada
Mexico
USA
Costa Rica go to inter-confederation play-off (to face New Zealand)

Asia

Another with three rounds. The third round has two groups of six teams. Top two in each group go through automatically. The two third-placed teams will face off to determine who goes through to the inter-confederation play-off. Here are the teams that are through.

South Korea
Iran
Japan
Saudi Arabia
Australia go through to inter-confederation play-off.

OFC

The winners of two four-team groups went head-to-head to see who would progress to the inter-confederation play-off. The qualified team is therefore pretty simple.
