The fourth pot’s final list is yet to be determined as the winners of three World Cup playoffs have not been decided.
According to FIFA draw regulations, one team from the four groups will take part in each of the eight groups.
The final draw is scheduled to take place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center in Doha, Qatar, on April 1.
Morocco’s Atlas Lions took a long and tiring journey to clinch their ticket to football’s most prestigious competition.
The national team made impressive participation in the World Cup qualifiers, setting an honorary record.
Earlier this week, Morocco’s Atlas Lions sealed their ticket for the 2022 World Cup by beating the Democratic Republic of Congo 4-1 in the second leg of the FIFA World Cup playoffs.
With this well-deserved victory, the national football team brought hope back to the Moroccan fans after its disappointing exit at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
