Australia Team at 2002 World Cup from third round of qualifying
The top two teams from Australia's group will get direct qualification to the World Cup.
The third-place team in the group will playoff against the third-place team in Group A across a single match, with the winner to take on a team from another confederation for a ticket to Qatar.
Failure to finish in the top three means there will be no chance of earning qualification to football's showpiece event.
The Socceroos meet Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, Oman and Vietnam in the final round of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualification.
Australia's first match, against China, finished in a 3-0 win for the Socceroos in Doha. Australia's final match, again at a venue and kick-off time to be confirmed, is against Saudi Arabia on 29 March 2022.
Australia must finish either first or second in Group B, which includes 10 matches from September 2021 to March 2022, to qualify directly. A third-place finish would send the Socceroos to a playoff against the third-place team from Group A, followed by an intercontinental playoff.
Matches will be played across Channel 10 platforms, including Paramount Plus.
