Is Australia counted as an Asian yard in the World Cup?

Australia used to belong to the Oceania Football Association, and the Oceania Football Association only has half of the World Cup places, and it also needs to compete with South America for a place in the form of play-offs.

In order to participate in the World Cup, Australia decided to participate in the AFC, and it was not a big problem to participate in the AFC at the level of Australia to get a place in the World Cup. So Australia participates in the AFC, and the World Cup qualifiers go to Asia.

Judging from the situation of the World Cup in South Africa, the geographical Oceania has Australia and New Zealand participating in the World Cup, which is much stronger than the past 0, at most one.

By the way, the quota places for the World Cup are allocated to the national and regional football associations (which need to be registered with FIFA and have to join an intercontinental football federation), not according to geographical countries. For example, England has four teams that can participate in the World Cup, and China also has four teams that can participate in the World Cup. It's just that none of China's four teams have qualified (national football, Hong Kong team, Macau team, Chinese Taipei team), and England and Scotland, which are also in the United Kingdom, are mortal enemies!

England had three sworn enemies: Germany. Scotland and Argentina)!!

Not counting Asia, there is a country in Asia and Oceania in each World Cup, which means that it is not necessarily Australia, but also other Asian countries.

Count, Australia joined the Asian Football Confederation many years ago, so in addition to Japan and South Korea, the strongest Asian team is Australia.

Counted. Australia only entered the main stage of the World Cup when they played in the Asian World Cup qualifiers.

Count, because Australia is the only country in China, and it is easier for him to enter the World Cup when he joins Asia.

Alleged, Australia has already joined the AFC.

Calculate. Five continents: Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa.

It's not Asia, hehe, it's just a quota on the Asian side.

It's chilling to talk about this.

The next edition will not count, but Asia will reduce the number of places by one.

This year, the Asian region will be counted.

This is the same as the Australian souvenirs.

You say how can kangaroos be rats, but other kangaroos are really the same as rats.

So it's the same thing with the question you're asking.

I didn't figure this question out, but after looking at the prawns above, it was much better.

Calculate. My junior high school teacher said that the dividing line between Asia and Oceania does not need to be too clear, and it is said that there will be Australia in the Asian Games.

The World Cup Australia is in Asia because it has joined the Asian Football Confederation.

Australia originally belonged to the Oceanian team, but when they participated in the World Cup qualifiers, because the overall football level in Oceania was not high, they could only be allocated half of the places.

Australia in Oceania, even if it has already won the first place, there is no guarantee that it has already qualified for the World Cup. It has to compete with teams from other continents for the remaining half of the spots. But Australia's strength is not absolutely outstanding, and it is very likely that it will not be able to kick others.

So, in 2006, the Australian team joined Asia (AFC) and became an Asian team. Asia has a place in the World Cup qualifiers, and Australia can qualify directly for the World Cup if they reach the top four in the World Cup qualifiers. Ironically, however, Australia joined the AFC to avoid that spot.

Australia's performance at the 2022 World Cup

However, in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers, the Australian team had a poor record, losing to Japan and Saudi Arabia one after another, and finally defeated the United Arab Emirates in the play-offs, and inevitably got a World Cup place.

However, in the contest with Peru, the Australian team defeated the Peruvian national team with a score of 5:4 to get another place, and finally successfully qualified for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

In the past, there were only five teams in Asia at most, but this year there will be six, because Qatar, the host country of this year's World Cup, also belongs to Asia, but the host country does not occupy the qualifiers.

Australia is part of the Asian Cup because Australia has joined the AFC since January 1, 2006, and the Asian Cup is a tournament organized by the AFC, so Australia can participate.

For the World Cup spot, the Australian men's football team originally belonged to the Oceania Federation. Since there are only one place in the Oceania Qualifiers, play-offs need to be played against other continents. New Zealand are by far the best team in the Oceania Confederation, while Australia are not guaranteed to win the competition.

On the other hand, the Asian region has a place in the World Cup. Four of them are guaranteed to advance, and with Australia's strength, they are considered strong teams in the Asian region, so they will join the AFC.

To improve the level of competition, the traditional strong teams in Asia include Japan, South Korea, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. When Australia joins the AFC, they will be able to play against teams from these countries and improve their performance.

To increase its influence, the AFC often organizes large-scale competitions, such as the Asian Cup, through which Australian players can increase their visibility, so as to obtain larger contracts, and can also improve the competitive level of Australian football to a certain extent.

Development of the Asian Cup

The AFC Asian Cup is an international football team competition hosted by AFC Honghe, which is the highest level and most influential football competition in Asia. The Asian Cup is held every four years and is open to all members of the AFC.

In 1956, the first Asian Cup finals were held in Hong Kong, with four teams participating, and South Korea won the championship. As of 2019, the AFC Asian Cup has been successfully held for 17 sessions. From 1997 to 2017, the winner of the Asian Cup could represent the AFC in the FIFA Confederations Cup.

The Asian Cup is the world's second-oldest continental national team (representative team) competition, after the Copa America, which was founded in 1916, one year before the first African Cup of Nations (1957), and four years before the first European Nations Cup (founded in 1960, now known as the European Football Championship).

On October 17, 2022, the AFC Kuala Lumpur Executive Committee meeting, after a clear vote, the AFC decided that Qatar will become the host of the 2023 Asian Cup, and the 2023 AFC Asian Cup will be held from January 12 to February 10, 2024 local time.

On February 1, 2023, the 33rd AFC Congress in Bahrain officially confirmed that the 2027 Asian Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia.

This is because the Australian Football Association has joined the AFC and has become a key part of Asian football. Transcript.

Just as the Kazakh Football Association joined UEFA and they played in the European Championship qualifiers.

In the World Cup, in order to ensure the normal selection, the division must be adjusted, mainly due to the one-on-one football system, the alternative team must be an integer branch of 2. However, Oceania, except for Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, is mostly a small country that did not participate, and these countries are very close to Asia, so they are divided into Asia. <
