Could someone tell me when and where is the 3rd round draw for the qualified teams pls.
When— In March
Where— To Be Decided (TBD), only after all ten group winners must have been determined by tomorrow, and most importantly, Draws concluded by February 2022
Sorry for error in previous comment…
To answer your question directly, the Draw should hold sometime in February 2022, ceteris paribus.
The venue for the Draw ceremony will be decided by CAF/FIFA in due course
Draw wil come up immediately in a week time or two
Are you 100% sure about that?
Remember the Draw will be majorly based on the FIFA Rankings.. and the AFCON is still ahead.
I still believe the Third Round Draw will hold after the AFCON is concluded..presumably in February…unless you’ve got concrete proof of your assertion @Dele, you can share the link here
@Dele is right the draw takes place immediately after the first round end in December
@Richie Buh AFCON has nothing to do with world cup, so is not possible for FIFA to be waiting for AFCON before draw
I think it gona take place in December
It’s gonna take place in February and the ay offs are I’m March
@Jide….i see……well, my own is, let whoever has concrete proof that this Draw will hold in the coming weeks, come out with it here for all to see, and YES I know the AFCON and the World Cup are two distinct tournaments, but the feelers I’ve been getting have been telling me this Draw would hold AFTER the AFCON has been concluded, all the same, let’s all watch and see
