Socceroos drawn alongside Jordan for 2022 World Cup qualifying

Australia have discovered their opponents for the second round of AFC qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Socceroos have been drawn in Group B alongside Jordan, Chinese Taipei, Kuwait and Nepal.

Group games will begin on September 5 and run until June 9 next year with every side in each group to play one another twice.

Winners of each group will automatically qualify for the next Asian Cup in 2023, while also progressing to the third round of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.

Nations that finish second will also progress to the next stage of qualifying for Qatar but may still have to play more qualifiers to book their place at the next Asian Cup in China.
