Qatar 2022 World Cup, where to watch all the matches (on TV and streaming)

Qatar 2022 World Cup

The 2022 FIFA World Cup organized by the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar kicks off on 20 November. This new edition of the championship that will decide the new team at the top of the world of football is also the most particular edition in the history of this competition. In fact, there have been many controversies regarding the organization of the World Cup by Qatar (the first nation in the Middle East to host a World Cup) with accusations of worker exploitation and huge sums spent on the construction of new stadiums and the compliance of various infrastructure of the country. In addition to this, however, the 2022 edition of the World Championships is the first in history to take place in autumn instead of in summer as has always been the case. The reasons are simply due to the country's climate, which reaches peaks of 50 degrees in the summer, which would have made it impossible to carry out the matches.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will once again be a tournament made up of a total of 32 teams, apparently it will also be the last with this formula, given that in the 2026 edition the teams will rise to 48 Matches will begin on November 20 with the opening of the home team, Qatar, which will face the South American national team of Ecuador. The tournament will take place as per tradition, with a Group Stage that will last until 2 December, followed by the Round of 16 which will take place from 3 to 6 December, the Quarter Finals will instead be on 9 and 10 December, the Semi-finals on 13 and 14 December, and finally the Final on 18 December, preceded by that for third and fourth place on 17.

The team to beat is France, World Champions during the 2018 Russia edition, where they won the tournament by beating Croatia 4-2 in the final. However, there are many favorite teams aiming for the title, even if the names are very classic: Brazil, Argentina, England, Spain and Germany are among the most quoted teams for the final victory, but the forecasts are not always very accurate and, above all in the world of football, the surprise is just around the corner.
