The 10 nations involved in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar have played only six matches each because games have been postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged parts of the South American continent.

In March European clubs declined to release players for qualifiers because of the danger of contracting the virus while traveling internationally. Now, however, FIFA has ended those temporary exclusion rules and will require clubs to release players for international duty.

To compensate for the recent postponements, CONMEBOL, the regional governing body, has announced that the qualifiers in September and October will be triple matchdays (spread over 11 days in each month), which were approved by FIFA. In all, South American nations and players could be asked to play a dozen international matches over the next seven months — in addition to their global club commitments.

The round-robin qualifying tournament calls on each nation to play home and away against nine opponents for a total of 18 matches, which will send the top four qualifiers to Qatar with a fifth nation involved in an intercontinental playoff.

Because of the delays and postponements, qualifying in South America will spill over into March 2022, with the World Cup finals slated to begin in the Middle Eastern nation in late November. The tournament will run from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18, 2022.

“The changes in the calendar seek to minimize the burden of travel and avoid complications in the busy schedule that South American football has this year,” CONMEBOL said in a statement on its website.
