The fourth round of AFC matches for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification was proposed to be played as a single match in either May or June 2022.[1][2] This round was originally scheduled as a two-legged tie for 11 and 16 November 2021, but the AFC agreed, in collaboration with FIFA, to change the dates and format in November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia.[3]

Format[]

In the fourth round, the two third-placed teams from the third round will compete in a single-match play-off in May or June 2022. The winner will advance to the intercontinental play-offs in Qatar.[4]

The host city and venue for this match will be announced during the draw for this round.
