How many places are there in the World Cup in Asia?

It is reported that the number of places in the Asian region of the next Football World Cup has been basically determined, and the number of men's soccer teams is still 4.5. FIFA has not added extra places to Asia because Australia joined the AFC. After the Australian team left the Oceania Football Association, Oceania still had 0.5 World Cup qualifying places. The AFC's 0.5 places will still maintain competition with Oceania.

As the New Zealand team outshines others after Australia's departure, it is very likely that the New Zealand team will compete with the Asian team for this half of the places again in the future.

Personally, I think FIFA is fair to Asian teams and has not reduced the number of Asian teams because of the unprecedented tension in the next World Cup and the poor performance of Asian teams in the World Cup in Germany. You know, due to the outstanding performance of European teams in the World Cup in Germany, there is definitely a need to increase the number of places in Europe, and so does Africa, because the host country has occupied the number of places. Under such circumstances, there are still 4.5 places in the world's third-rate Asia. Thank goodness.

Besides, although it seems that Asia is one less place than before because Australia has occupied a place in Asia, in fact, the chances of qualifying for Asian teams can be said to have not changed much.
