What is the 12 standings?
The 12 tournament is divided into two groups, with six teams in each group playing round robin matches (each team plays 10), and the players who finally score the top two can directly advance to the final stage of the World Cup in Russia. Because there are 4.5 seats in the Asian region of the 20 18 World Cup, the third place of the two groups will be eliminated, and the home and away PK will be used to decide the fifth place in the Asian region. Finally, the fifth place in Asia will compete with the fourth place in South America for a World Cup qualification.
Division of 12 before the preliminaries:
Group A: Iran, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
Group B: Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, China, Oman and Viet Nam.
After the group confirmed, the specific schedule of the 12 competition was also released. Among them, the first game of the national football team will face Australia, the second strongest in the same group, and Japan, the first in the group, will be ushered in September and July.
