Germany has became the first nation to join hosts Qatar at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The four-time world champions established an unassailable lead in UEFA zone Group J.

Group J had Armenia, Germany, Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia and Romania.

Thirteen European nations will feature at Qatar 2022.

A  4-0 win in North Macedonia on Monday saw Germany became the first nation after hosts Qatar to lock up their spot at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

After a scoreless first half in Skopje, a double from Timo Werner and one goal each from Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala secured Germany’s fifth win in as many starts under new coach Hansi Flick.

It was a major turnaround from Germany’s shock 2-1 home loss against the same opponent in March – their only dropped points from their eight Group J outings.

Thirteen European nations will feature in Qatar with the 22nd edition of the World Cup which will commence on 21 November 2022.
