The 2022 FIFA World Cup takes place in Qatar - a country in Western Asia or the Middle East. Qatar will become the first Muslim country in the Arab world to host the World Cup, with the vast majority of fixtures taking place in and around Qatar’s capital city, Doha.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup Final takes place on Sunday 18th December, when the new World Champions will be crowned. The final will bring an end to the four week long tournament.
Brazil have won the most FIFA World Cups, having lifted the trophy on no fewer than five occasions. Brazil last won the World Cup in 2002, having previously reigned in 1958, 1962, 1970 and 1994.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will comprise 32 teams from five Confederations, with all teams apart from Qatar reaching the tournament through success in their respective World Cup Qualifiers. All corners of the globe will be represented, with European, South American, North American, African, Asian and Oceanian countries set to take part.
All the usual big footballing countries feature in the favourites for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with Brazil, France, England, Argentina, Spain and Germany amongst the favoured picks and predictions. At the other end of the spectrum, countries like Costa Rica, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Qatar are predicted to struggle at the Qatar World Cup.
As is traditional, Group A contains the World Cup hosts, Qatar - playing in their first World Cup - joined by The Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal. The Netherlands are strong favourites to win the group with a squad featuring lots of stellar names, but there could be a close three-way battle between Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador to progress as runners-up.
England are the standout pick in Group B, having reached the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020 last summer; reigning golden boot winner, Harry Kane, is also at their disposal. Joining England in Group B are Iran, USA and Wales, setting up an exciting ‘Home Nations’ fixture and two intriguing UK/USA contests.
Lionel Messi will lead Argentina into Group C clashes against Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia as favourites. With Argentina likely to top the group and Saudi Arabia rank outsiders, Poland will be reliant on Robert Lewandowski’s goals if they are to beat Mexico in what could be a tight tussle for second place.
Reigning World Champions, France, will have to get past the likes of Australia, Denmark and Tunisia in Group D if they are to retain their title. Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema and co. are likely to fire France through to the knockout stages as Group D winners, but who will take second out of Denmark, Australia and Tunisia is anyone’s guess.
Group E is about as close to a ‘Group of Death’ as it gets in Qatar, with four-time winners Germany and 2010 champions Spain set to do battle, alongside Japan and Costa Rica. Despite the imposing prowess of Germany and Spain, Japan will feel they are in with a shot at knockout qualification with many established and emerging stars to call upon.
Belgium and Croatia will be the favourites to progress out of Group F, ahead of Morocco and Canada. Belgium sit second in the FIFA rankings and boast a squad full of Premier League and Champions League superstars, while Croatia made the final back in 2018 and their experienced team, including Real Madrid legend Luka Modric, will be out for more success.
Brazil have won the World Cup more than anyone else, but a trio of challenging opponents in Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon make for an interesting Group G. Of course, Brazil will be favourites to win the group, but it will be no formality, with all three of their opponents boasting a few household names of their own and past experience in making it through the group stages.
Group H is tough to call, as Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea and Ghana will all fancy their chances of progression. Cristiano Ronaldo will of course be pivotal to Portugal, while Uruguay’s striking trio of Darwin Nunez, Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez will pose a real threat. For South Korea, Son Heung-Min will be vital, with Ghana the Group H long-shots despite a good squad.
