The European Qualifiers have now concluded, with 13 nations having clinched spots at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The group stage was first to end on 16 November, as ten teams won their groups to secure World Cup qualification: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland.

Europe's remaining three World Cup berths were then determined via the play-offs. Wales grabbed the last of them in a play-off final with Ukraine on 5 June, after Portugal and Poland had won their own play-off deciders.

The World Cup draw took place in Doha in April for the tournament that runs from 21 November to 18 December in Qatar. Check out all the fixtures here.
