The final international window before the World Cup has come and gone and now the focus for all 32 teams is on their opening group games in Qatar this November.

Pressure will be on the coaches as they finalise their 26-player-squads ahead of the November 13 deadline, while players will have their final chances to earn their selection with good form for their club teams.
The squad limit has risen three spots compared to previous tournaments, from 23 to 26, in order to help coaches manage the continued presence of COVID-19.

World Cup officials, together with the World Health Organisation and Qatar, have confirmed a collaborative approach to providing a safer environment for travelling fans who will have greater access than ever before.

Qatar's small surface area means its eight venues, spread across five host cities, will be entirely within reach on matchdays - making it easier for fans to attend their favourite fixtures.

SBS and SBS On Demand will broadcast all 64 matches exclusively free-to-air to Australian audiences, with eight live games shown simultaneously on SBS VICELAND.

The Socceroos will be in at least three of these fixtures, having been drawn against defending champions France, Denmark and Tunisia in Group D.

In line with previous iterations, the host country will contest the opening match at the 2022 World Cup, with Qatar kicking off Group A against Ecuador on November 21.
