The teams will compete in a round-robin format, with the eight group winners and four second-placed teams with the highest results entering the third qualifying round (the final qualifying round) of the Asian region, and also winning tickets to the 2023 Asian Cup Finals.
According to the regulations, the next 24 teams with good results will be divided into 6 groups (4 teams/group) to continue competing for the remaining 11 tickets to attend the 2023 Asian Cup Finals (the 24th ticket is reserved for the host team of the 2023 Asian Cup Finals, China).
And the 12 teams that make it to the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup will be divided into 2 groups (6 teams/group, playing a round-robin of 2 home and away matches). The top two teams in each group will qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
The two third-placed teams will play a play-off (first and second leg at home and away). The winner will qualify for a play-off against a representative from another continent to win the remaining ticket to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.
Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will have nearly 2 months to prepare for the goal of reaching the 3rd qualifying round of the World Cup before thinking about a miracle in the world's number 1 tournament./.
