FIFA plans to cut a number of matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers
The 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign could be shortened as the World Football Federation (FIFA) plans to push back the restart of matches at the national level until 2021.
On April 13, FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani said that the 2022 World Cup qualifiers could have been shortened from the original plan.
"We’re likely going to be having to seriously look at reformatting some of our events," Montagliani said. "We’re committed to our final four (in the Nations League). But we have other events that we have to probably look at reformatting, whether it’s some of our youth competitions, even our World Cup qualifying, where we’re going to have to, in the balance of probabilities, look at how that would work in a situation where the calendar there is now less than what we expected it to be,” a FIFA vice-president said Monday
CONCACAF’s hexagonal that determines the region’s three direct qualifiers is to start in the fall with each nation playing two games each in September, October and November. Montagliani has been heading a FIFA working group formulating plans to deal with the implications of the world’s biggest sport being largely shut down since last month.
If this plan is approved, the journey to the 2022 World Cup finals of the teams, including Vietnam will be significantly shorter. However, this change will also affect the initial calculations of the teams.

Earlier, FIFA also announced that canceling matches at the national level which were expected to take place in March and June. Mr. Montagliani even thinks that matches at the national level, scheduled for September, October and November, are likely to be canceled.
