Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

Iran and Saudi Arabia both qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the sixth time. Iran became the first Asian nation to qualify when they beat Iraq 1-0 on 27 January 2022 (Qatar had qualified automatically as hosts). Saudi Arabia followed suit on 24 March after a 1-1 draw in China. China did not qualify, finishing 5th in their group.

Canada qualified for the first time since 1986 (and the second time overall) after beating Jamaica 4-0 on 27 March 2022 to become the first CONCACAF team to book their ticket to Qatar. The USA followed three days later, despite losing 0-2 to Costa Rica. Panama finished fifth in their group and failed to qualify.

Poland qualified in the European play-offs (2-0 vs. Sweden) for the 9th time. Wales ended a 64-year drought (the longest of any team in World Cup history) by beating Austria and Ukraine in the play-offs. Switzerland surprisingly qualified at the top of group C leaving Italy behind. Denmark beat Scotland and Austria in group F. Italy, the reigning European champion, failed to qualify for the second consecutive time after a sensational 0-1 loss against North Macedonia in Palermo. Turkey lost to Portugal by 1-3 in the first play-off round.

Morocco booked their place in Qatar on 29 March 2022 by defeating DR Congo. Ghana overcame Nigeria the same day. Egypt lost to Senegal on penalties in the final round of qualifying.

Uruaguy and Ecuador finished 3rd and 4th respectively behind Brazil and Argentina in the CONMEBOL qualifiers. Chile finished 7th.
