The opening match of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will commence on 21st November while the final match will take place on 18th December.
With the groups being drawn, the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 fixtures have finally been revealed, including the tournament’s entire schedule and stadium locations.
The information provided is the updated schedule until every country to be qualified is finalised.
As the World Cup group draw is sealed, fans can now see which countries will play against each other, dates and times of the games, and which teams will potentially compete in the knockout rounds.
The first two rounds of group games will have kick-off times at 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 10:00 PM (GMT+3).
The final group stage games and all knockout games will have kick-off times at 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM (GMT+3).
The World Cup tournament will follow the past editions, with a 32-team group stage which will trim down to 16 teams (only the top two teams from each group will advance).
Those 16 survivors will then begin a single-game knockout competition, with the winners moving on and the losers going back home. There must be a winner on the day, with extra time and penalty kicks being used, if deemed necessary.
