So in summary, 10 nations automatically qualified for the World Cup from Europe after winning their qualifying groups. They were:

Now 12 nations (10 runners-up plus two highest ranking Nations League teams) will battle it out for the three remaining European spots at the 2022 World Cup.

That means six semi-finals, and three finals to decide those final places.

Portugal, Scotland, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Wales are seeds and they will be at home for the semi-finals, against one of the other six unseeded nations.

The semi-finals are numbered in the order they are drawn out, and the winners of semi-final 1 will play the winners of semi-final 2 in the final, 3 vs 4 and 5 vs 6.

A draw will also be held to determine which semi-finalists will be at home for the final - both the semis and the final are one match only.
