Just a few days remain before the official inauguration of the FIFA World Cup 2022. The 22nd edition of the tournament will start on 20th November 2022 with the host nation Qatar competing against the South American nation, Ecuador. The tournament will run for 29 days and it will feature a total of 64 matches with the final to be played on the 18th of December at the Lusail stadium.

The 32 nations are divided into eight different groups i.e., from group A to group H. Each team will play against three of the other teams from their group in the league stage and the top two teams will advance to the knock-out stage aka “round of 16.” The league matches will take place from 20th Nov to 2nd December. The fixtures for the round of 16 will be decided as per their standings in their respective group. The team who tops the first group will play against the team that finishes second in the second group while the team finishing second in the first group will play against the team finishing first in the second group and so on.

Similarly, the winners of each tie will advance to the quarter-final stage and the winners move further to the semi-final stage. Finally, two unbeaten teams in the knock-out stage will move to the final of the competition. Regarding the result of the matches, while the group stage matches can end in a draw, all the knock-out matches must decide the winners. Extra time of 30 minutes with each half of 15 minutes will be added in case of a draw in the mandatory 90 minutes of play and the match will head to a penalty shoot-out in case of a draw in the extra period as well.d
