The 2022 CONCACAF W Championship qualification competition, also known as the CONCACAF W Qualifiers, is a women's football tournament that was contested by the senior women's national teams of the member associations of CONCACAF to decide the participating teams of the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship. The qualifying matches took place in February and April 2022. A total of six teams in the qualifying competition advanced to the final tournament, joining Canada and the United States, who received byes as the top ranked teams. The 2022 CONCACAF W Championship will serve as the CONCACAF qualifiers to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, as well as for the football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France.[1]

Belize had its first international win and draw, having lost all international matches since its debut back in 2001.

Teams[edit]

A total 39 CONCACAF member associations were eligible to enter the qualifying competition, with Canada and the United States having qualified automatically for the final tournament as the top two CONCACAF teams in the FIFA Women's World Rankings of August 2020.[1] Only 30 teams entered the competition.[2]

Format[edit]

The qualifying competition was held in February and April 2022. Teams will be drawn into six groups of five, and played two home and two away matches in a single round-robin format. Should more than thirty CONCACAF member associations have entered, a play-in round will be held prior to the qualifying group stage. However, as 30 teams entered qualifying, this was not necessary. The six group winners will advance to the final tournament.[1]

Tiebreakers[edit]

Teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). The rankings of teams in each group are determined as follows (regulations Articles 12.3):[3]

  1. points obtained in all group matches;
  2. goal difference in all group matches;
  3. number of goals scored in all group matches;

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings are determined as follows:

  1. points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  2. goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. lowest fair play points in all group matches:
    • first yellow card: plus 1 point;
    • indirect red card (second yellow card): plus 3 points;
    • direct red card: plus 4 points;
    • yellow card and direct red card: plus 5 points;
  5. drawing of lots by CONCACAF.

Draw[edit]

The qualification draw took place on 21 August 2021, 15:00 EDT, in Miami, United States.[2] The 30 teams were seeded based on the FIFA Women's World Rankings of June 2021 (in parentheses).[4] The top six teams in the ranking were pre-seeded, and automatically allocated to position 1 in order from group A to F. The remaining teams were placed into pots 1 to 4 based on ranking, with each pot containing six teams. Pot 4 contained the two lowest-ranked teams, along with four unranked teams. In the draw, teams were drawn from each pot and placed in order from group A to F. The position teams were drawn into was based on their pot: pot 1 teams were drawn into position 2, pot 2 teams into position 3, pot 3 teams into position 4 and pot 4 teams into position 5.[5]
