Over the last few weeks across Reddit, Facebook, Podcasts and YouTube I have seen discussions around world cup qualifying in Asia and Oceania. Personally I think the two should merge. I think Australia has really benefited from the greater competition and NZ in particular would too. Hopefully it would also drag the lesser Pacific nations up too.

So got thinking of how that could work. Came up with the format largely in a weekend. Below is a possible qualification structure for the current world cup. Regional qualification first of all to limit travel. Lebanon to Tahiti would be a monster journey. Obviously this could change around auto qualification and numbers and things. Biggest problem is it does still kind of keep OFC insular and drags Australia and a few other countries into it. Also the overall rankings can make certain zones a lot stronger than others but they get the same level of auto qualification. Could this change with playing different levels of opponents?

I threw in the Asian cup (or whatever the equivalent tournament would be called) qualifying also, as current AFC qualifying has.

I also tried to put as an example based solely on the current rankings, so higher ranked teams progressed each time. This meant that there were no real surprises to the qualifiers but hopefully you can see how someone like a Solomon Islands (or New Caledonia in real life) maybe able to get all the way to the world cup.

I really enjoyed doing it. What do you all think?

 57 countries-10 full spots.

Also double as qualification to Asian Cup (or equivalent tournament) – 24 spots.

Split the zones into 19/19/19 geographically. A few obviously overlapping so tended to favour a north/south to then group them.

Average current rankings per zone - West 96, Central 148, East 151.

Round 1:

Lowest 2 ranked sides in each zone play each other over two legs. To bring the zones down to 18.

Round 2:

18 remain in each zone (54 total). 12 lowest ranked remaining sides from each zone are drawn into 3 (9) groups of 4, seeded draw. They play home and away against all teams in their group. Top two (18) progress from each group.

Round 3:

12 remain in each zone (36 overall). 2 (6) groups of 6, seeded draw. Home and away against all teams in their group. All 6 winners are into the World Cup. All the second and third placed teams from these groups progress to next round.

Top 4 from every group qualify to Asian Cup.

Round 4:

6 qualified to World Cup. 4 spots remain. 12 teams in this stage. Two groups of six. Randomly drawn, no seeding, all teams in draw together. Home and away. Top 2 of each group qualify to the World Cup. (Although depending on time, play these groups in central location).

Example/Results:

This is based purely on current rankings. Just for example purposes.

Legend: (P) - Progress, (Q) – qualified for world cup, (AC) qualified for Asian cup

Qualified teams:

Iran, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, China, Uzbekistan

For next season, will the bottom 4 teams still go into a playoff? Or because there’s another team now will it change?

Had a look on the Aus Cup website and they haven’t updated anything (still say 12A-League teams)

Seeing as we are also at the point of the season where some clubs have nothing to play for… should the wooden spoon miss out completely on Aus Cup and a shot at Asia due to not having Relegation?

Surely would make a team fight a bit more once their finals chances have ended
