Thus, the group of the Vietnamese team is considered easier. In particular, as Coach Park Hang-seo wished, the Vietnamese team is not in the same group with South Korea, and will face China.

Group 1 includes Japan and Iran; group 2 includes Australia and South Korea; group 3 includes Saudi Arabia and the UAE; group 4 includes Iraq and China; group 5 includes Oman and Syria.
The two teams are divided into two groups, playing a round-robin to determine the ranking points in each group. The top four teams in the two groups will go straight to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, while the two third-placed teams will compete in a play-off with representatives from another continent.
The matches of the Third Qualifying Round are scheduled to take place on the following dates: September 2, 2021, September 7, 2021, October 7, 2021, October 12, 2021, November 11, 2021, November 16, 2021, January 27, 2022, February 1, 2022, March 24, 2022 and March 29, 2022.
