Australia’s Road To The 2022 World Cup

The road to Qatar 2022 has not yet begun. Qualifying matches should begin in 2020. You can expect to find Australia on the schedule. Their opponents, however, have yet to be determined.

Australia’s road to the 2018 World Cup was exhausting, but the Socceroos ended up securing their spot in the finals. Australia’s qualifying campaign consisted of 20 matches and was their hardest qualification campaign to date. The team initially started out strong, with victories in Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, and Iraq. The Socceroos momentum when the team went through a stretch of four consecutive draws, which they were luckily able to bounce back from.

Australia won matches against the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, but a 2-0 loss to Japan and a 2-1 win over Thailand were not enough to boost the Socceroos to the top of their group. But after Japan fell to Saudi Arabia, Australia was forced to enter a playoff round with Syria. Australia beat Syria 2-1 at home which secured their spot in the intercontinental playoff against Honduras. A 3-1 victory sealed the deal for Australia and ended one of the longest qualifying campaigns in FIFA World Cup history. The Socceroos earned their ticket with hard work and dedication, and you can expect that same game plan going into Qatar 2022.
