FIFA worldcup22 is an international association football tournament contested by the national teams of the member associations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. It is the most prestigious competition in association football. It is held every four years, and features the world's best players. It has been held in different locations since 1930, and is the most attended sporting event.
Qatar
The next World Cup is scheduled for 2022 in Qatar. This will be the first time a World Cup is held in Asia and the Middle East. While Europe has hosted the most World Cups, South America and Africa have each staged a tournament once. The 2022 tournament will also include matches on Thanksgiving Day.
November
The next World Cup is in 2022 and is set to take place in Qatar. This will be the first time that a 48-team tournament will be held in the same location. It will also be the first World Cup in which multiple nations will co-host the event. Japan and South Korea co-hosted the 2002 tournament. However, this time, three nations will host the World Cup.
Kick-off times
The schedule for the next World Cup will feature a variety of kick-off times, with the group stages running until Friday, December 2. Games will be played on Saturdays and Sundays, with the final to take place on Sunday, December 11. The schedule will be staggered so that fans from all time zones can tune in to watch the matches.
Venues
There are several possible locations for the next World Cup. Major American cities are strong contenders, including Atlanta, Dallas, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Seattle. Some have even hosted a World Cup game before, including the 1994 final. Others haven't, but their cities have a good chance of getting an opportunity to host the tournament.
Teams playing
There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the World Cup next year, which will begin in Qatar on June 14. It was a shock for many to learn that Russia and Uruguay will be playing in their first major tournament together, but that isn't the end of it. France and Argentina will be two of the favourites to win the tournament, and both will likely make the knockout rounds. Brazil and Argentina will also likely be in the competition, and Senegal could be Africa's best hopes.
Covid outbreaks
FIFA has postponed the South American 2022 World Cup qualifiers because of a global coronavirus outbreak. The South American Football Confederation, which represents the 10 nations in the region, has said it will not stage the qualifiers between March 26 and 31. FIFA is assessing the situation and will decide whether to make further changes to the schedule.
Qualifying rounds
Qualifying rounds for the next World Cup will take place in 2022. The initial format of the qualifying stage was to involve one match in March 2022 between two OFC nations, with the winner of that match advancing to the group stage. The remaining eight teams would be drawn into two groups of four teams, with the top two in each group progressing to the knockout stages. The winner of each knockout round would then advance to the inter-confederation play-off.
