The third round will see Egypt vs. Senegal, Cameroon vs. Algeria, Ghana vs. Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo vs. Morocco, and Mali vs. Tunisia matches.
The playoffs will be played as two-legged tie as five victorious teams will reserve their places each in this year's World Cup.
The first legs will be held on March 24, and the return matches will be played five days later.
Qatar 2022 has been scheduled for Nov. 21 to Dec. 18.
It will be the first World Cup tournament to be held in mid-season, as previous World Cup finals took place in May, June, or July.
