The qualification structure is as follows:

  • First round: 16 teams are divided into four groups of four teams to play a double round-robin system (home-and-away or two tournaments at a single venue). The three best-placed teams from each group will advance to the second round.
  • Second round: 12 teams will be divided into two groups of six teams. Each group will be formed from teams that advanced from the four first round groups. All results from the previous round will be carried over. The two best-placed teams from each group and the best third-placed team will qualify for the World Cup.
