Talk:2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC fourth round

Fourth Round format

Originally this was going to be a two-legged tie. Sometime this year the text has been changed to show that it is now a one-legged tie, but the reference that was linked to that was about India's possible performance in the Second round and irrelevant to this discussion. Can someone find a reference that shows that this is a one-legged tie, and if so whether its host is drawn or whether it is a neutral venue? Matilda Maniac (talk) 00:59, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

@Matilda Maniac: I have found a reliable source to show the third-place teams will play home-and-away, and I will update the article. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 18:05, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Belay my last. This article says they will play on March 24 and 29, but those are Third Round Match Days 9 and 10. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 18:07, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Kick-off time

After I edited it from 21:00 to 20:00, according to FIFA web site:
https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/qualifiers/afc/match-center/400235362
I've noticed that AFC web site says it's 21:00:

Not sure which one is correct. Does anyone know?

@JalenFolf and SomeBody1971: I think it is 21:00 local time, per Socceroos.com.au[1], ESPN[2] and Soccerway[3]. Centaur271188 (talk) 22:58, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

It seems that FIFA have partially corrected themselves: on the match link (I mentioned above) it still shows 20:00, but on the general AFC qualifiers page https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/qualifiers/afc it now shows 21:00.

So, it's 21:00 almost sure. SomeBody1971 (talk) 19:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
