From the 1998 World Cup in France to Russia 2018 in Concacaf, a final hexagonal was disputed to settle the qualifiers for the World Cup, but the pandemic delayed the calendars and the federative entity decided that the ideal was to change the format to an Octagonal.
They were already classified Mexico, the United States, Costa Rica, Honduras and Jamaica. Only three guests were missing the all against all and this Tuesday they were defined. Those selections are those of Panama, Canada and El Salvador.
The Panamanians left Curaçao on the road 2-1 on aggregate and want to sing the anthem again at the World Cup, as happened in Russia 2018. Canada eliminated Haiti with a 3-0 aggregate, including the unusual own goal of Duverger that went around the world.
The Savior calmly surpassed Saint Kitts and Nevis with a cumulative score of 6-0 and sealed his ticket to the octagonal. They want to attend their third world cup. They won the return 2-0 with so many Joshua Pérez and Gerson Mayén.
Prize for insistence 💪!

The calendar of the final octagonal
14 rounds will be played with the eight teams that qualified with round-trip matches, with alternating locations, as is the case in Conmebol. Three countries will qualify directly to Qatar 2022 and the fourth place will be played in the World Cup playoffs.
The venues and times of each game will be known later.
Here is the Final Round calendar for the Concacaf Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022👇
