The next version of the FIFA World Cup has been scheduled to take place in Qatar from November 21st to December 18th 2022. It is held every four years, and this will be the 22nd FIFA World Cup to date. The reason for being later in the year than normal is to avoid the extreme heat of the summer.

Group D matches
Group D draw
While we don't yet know which teams will be in which group, there is one thing we do know for certain. That's the structure of the 22nd FIFA World Cup in 2022.
The tournament begins with 32 teams divided into eight groups of four. So far, 15 teams have qualified, including the hosts Qatar who qualify automatically. The final draw to see which team goes where will take place in Doha on the 3 April 2022.
Each group of four nations will face each other in a round-robin format to determine which teams are worthy of a spot in the Round of 16.

Back To The Past
There's a rich history behind the footballing festivities of the World Cup. Since the very first tournament took place in Uruguay in 1930, just 8 national teams have won this prestigious tournament to date.
But let's not get stuck in the distant past. Do you remember the last FIFA World Cup final? The tournament was hosted in Russia, and France went head to head against Croatia to end the 2018 World Cup in style.
France ended up winning 4-2 in a fantastic game, perhaps the best final in World Cup history. It was also the second time France won the gold medal, after their amazing performance against Brazil in the final in 1998.
There were over 1 billion viewers worldwide for the World Cup 2018 in Russia. That fact alone made it one of the most viewed sports events in history.
With the epic stadiums and the eager anticipation for the long-awaited 2022 World Cup, we see no reason why those numbers wouldn't be ever higher in 2022.
