World Cup 2022 European Qualifiers: Who has qualified for Qatar?

It’s crunch time on the road to Qatar 2022 for European nations - who has qualified and who is in position to reach next year’s World Cup finals?

Two of Europe’s 13 FIFA World Cup spots have been secured and eight more teams can book their spots during the final set of group fixtures.

The winners of each group automatically qualify for the tournament, which runs from November 21 to December 18, 2022, and three more teams will seal their place at the end of the play-offs in March.

Here, we run through the state of play in each of the 10 groups at the business end of the qualification process, with several heavyweights under pressure.
