Conmebol previously asked Fifa to delay campaign as football events are suspended over Covid-19 pandemic FMTNews
ASUNCION: South American qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, will begin in September, the region’s governing body Conmebol said on Friday.
“For the moment, the start fixed by for its celebration is Sept 4-8 in the format already established,” said Conmebol.That amounts to 18 matches, far more than most other continental federations organise. And with the Copa America being postponed until next year, the opportunities to fit in an extra two rounds of matches appear few.
Meanwhile, Conmebol said that no restart date could yet be fixed for its flagship club competitions, the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.
