The nations from Oceania will know their road to the FIFA World Cup on November 29th.
Surprisingly, the draw will not be held in Oceania, but in Switzerland.

The virtual event will be streamed live on FIFA.com for all territories,” a statement from the OFC read.
The tournament will determine which OFC team qualify for the inter-confederation playoff to be held prior to the World Cup start in December next year.
“Further details concerning the format and dates of the OFC preliminary competition and the draw procedures will be communicated ahead of the draw,” the statement reads.
