For the 2018 World Cup, FIFA held a gala for the preliminary round draw of all confederations. However, this will not happen for the 2022 tournament.

A FIFA spoksperson told ESPN: "Given the fact that the FIFA World Cup 2022 will take place in November-December and that each confederation plans a different timeline for their qualifiers to the tournament, it has been agreed that a preliminary draw will be held separately for each one of them.

"Discussions involving the other confederations and the draws for their preliminary competitions are currently ongoing. Further details will follow in due course."

FIFA has abandoned plans to expand the 2022 World Cup to 48 teams, and will continue with a 32-team competition.

NB: World Cup qualifying has been seriously affected by the coronavirus pandemic with many qualifying paths suspended. At present there is no information about when all of the regions may resume qualifying, though some have confirmed.
