The 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar edition is finally here! From November 20th, 32 teams from six FIFA Confederations will begin the campaign to determine the winner. This read aims to guide you through the tournament by providing insightful information about the biggest World Cup match venues, Fixtures, live Scores and the best bookie for FIFA 2022 World Cup.

Qatar World Cup 2022

Billions of fans across the globe are hyped about the looming 2026 FIFA World Cup that will take place in Qatar from November to December. The Middle East country of Qatar won the ballot to host the event in 2010, beating top contestants like the United States. Interestingly, the next World Cup will be hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. This tournament marks the end of the 32-team battle as FIFA is set to increase the number of teams to 48. Soon after confirming the winning bid, Qatar began developments in preparation for the event. The Qatari Government erected 7 new Stadiums and constructed a brand-new airport. 

Further to the preparations, Qatar has built 100 new hotels, a network of roads, and a new metro system. According to the government, the World Cup will boost the country's economy by approximately $20 billion. As the host, Qatar automatically qualified to participate in the tournament. At the same time, other teams such as South Korea, Brazil, and France had to go through gruelling 2022 qualifiers to secure a ticket to the competition. FIFA World Cup Qatar will start with group stage matches, which will take place in different venues as you are about to learn.

Mascot and Official Logo for Qatar World Cup 2022

Not long ago, the Qatari government unveiled their official mascot La'eeb, Arabic for 'super-skilled player.' The logo garnered mixed reactions worldwide, especially from Twitteratis.

On the other hand, the infinity sign is the official logo. The 2022 World Cup official logo symbolises the legacy and influence of the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup that will continue accelerating the country's development even after the tournament.

The infinity sign, which can be interpreted as an eight, also symbolises the number of Stadiums that will host the matches. As the first nation in the Middle East to host the FIFA World Cup, Qatar seeks to make the event memorable not only for the fans in the stands but for all of us in front of our TVs.

Financing the World Cup

Qatar is set to spend approximately $220 billion on the forthcoming World Cup. The money, funded by the Government of Qatar and other public donors, was used to build 7 football arenas and improve infrastructure by adding a new metro network. They also built 100 brand new hotels which will accommodate the visitors of the tournament. So far, the 2022 Qatar World Cup is considered the most expensive edition since its launch in 1930.

Biggest Advertisers

The World Cup generally offers the biggest advertising platform. That said, multiple brands will promote their products and services, with the most prominent brands being.

  1. McDonald's - McDonald's is the world's most popular fast-food chain, launched in 1940 by Maurice McDonald and Richard McDonald. It is available in more than 100 countries and is renowned for its delicious foods, including fries, burgers, and other snacks. McDonald's will be among the biggest FIFA World Cup advertisers.
  2. Hisense - The Chinese multinational electronic-manufacturing company has been making headlines since its premiere in 1969. Hisense is considered one of the top brands providing consumers worldwide with world-class electronics such as televisions. Hisense is one of the main sponsors of the FIFA World Cup and will advertise its products during the event.
  3. Budweiser -The beer brewing company Budweiser has been operational since 1876. Budweiser has one of the biggest markets in the United States and is among the most popular beer brands on the planet. The company has been sponsoring the World Cup for over 25 years. This explains why it will be one of the biggest advertisers during this rendition of the tournament.

History of The FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup is one of the world's biggest football tournaments that started in 1930. From its inception to 1970, the tournament went by the name Jules Rimet Trophy, after the person who came up with the idea. While still under its initial name, Brazil won the tournament three times, that is, in 1958, 1962, and 1970 after beating Italy 4-1.

The inaugural contest took place in Uruguay. Its host country went on to win the trophy after thrashing Argentina 4-2. Only 13 teams participated in the initial tournament, but since then, the World Cup has expanded to 32 teams who have to make it through the qualifiers. The World Cup of 1942 and 1946 were cancelled because of World War II. 

After the war, FIFA reorganised the tournament, which took place in 1950 in Brazil. Usually, the tournament would not involve any form of marketing until the 1966 edition. The host England embraced an official logo and a mascot followed by profound marketing. South Africa was banned from the tournament for not observing the Anti-discrimination rule due to the apartheid. The ban remained in effect until 1992.

You should also note that the 1978 World Cup was considered the hardest to qualify for, given that 90 teams had to compete for 14 slots. Since then, the competition has had impressive transformations that have seen it become one of the biggest tournaments on the planet.

Which Country has Hosted the Most World Cup Finals?

Brazil, Germany, Mexico, and France have hosted most World Cup finals, each having won the bid to host the tournament twice. This will change in 2026 when Mexico will co-host the World Cup with the USA and Canada.

Participating Federations

Here is a list of the six confederations that oversee the football games in different continents on behalf of FIFA:

CONMEBOL

Copa Libertadores de América or CONMEBOL is the smallest confederation of FIFA that was founded in 1960. The federation comprises 10 national teams from South America, including Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, and Venezuela. CONMEBOL teams have won nine World Cups since the tournament was established. Brazil holds five World Cup titles, Uruguay 2, and Argentina 2. Note that Brazil is currently the 2022 FIFA World Cup bookie's favourite and the strongest team in CONMEBOL.

UEFA

UEFA, or Union of European Football Associations, is one of the most popular FIFA federations, founded in 1954. The confederation represents European nations with 55 members. Combined, UEFA teams have won a total of 12 World Cups. The UEFA federation is represented by some of the best teams in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including Germany, Spain, and Italy. However, France is the bookies' favourite coming in second after CONMEBAL's Brazil.

CONCACAF

Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football, popularly known as CONCACAF, is among the biggest FIFA federations launched in 1961. The confederation represents the Caribbean, North America, and Central American nations. CONCACAF has 41 members, but only 11 teams have ever qualified for the World Cup. The teams include Mexico, Costa Rica, and the United States. For the 2022 FIFA World Cup, The United States is a CONCACAF favourite. Unlike other confederations, none of the national teams in the federation has ever won the FIFA World Cup.

CAF

Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) is FIFA’s confederation in charge of Africa. It was founded in 1957 and comprised 54 teams and 2 associates. Out of the 54 members, only 13 teams have ever qualified for the FIFA World Cup. CAF teams have never won any FIFA World Cup, and according to bookies' odds, Senegal is the strongest CAF team in the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

AFC

Formed in 1954, Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the FIFA federation managing football in Asia. The confederation has 47 members, but only a few teams; for example, Japan and South Korea have ever participated in the FIFA World Cup. Furthermore, none of the AFC members has ever won the FIFA World Cup. Japan is the AFC favourite in the World Cup.

OCF

Oceania Football Confederation, popularly known as OCF, is one of the latest FIFA federations formed in 1966 to represent Oceanian nations on behalf of FIFA. OCF has 11 members and 2 associates. Only two OCF members have ever qualified for the FIFA World Cup, including Australia and New Zealand. Both teams have only reached the group stage, which means no OCF member has ever clinched the World Cup. According to sportsbooks, Australia is the strongest team in Oceania for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

FIFA World Cup Trophy

The FIFA World Cup trophy has been issued to winners of the World Cup since 1930. However, the current trophy is not the original cup. The original award was called Coupe du Monde, after which it was renamed Jules Rimet. Abel Lafleur, a French Sculptor, designed the cup in the form of the Goddess of Victory holding a vessel with stretched-out arms. A considerable section of the trophy was made of gold, whereas the remaining sections were sculptured from a semi-precious stone. During World War II, a sports official from Italy, Dr Ottorino Barassi, stole the cup in Rome and kept it safe during World War II. He returned it later, just in time for the 1950 tournament. 

The trophy was, however, stolen right before the 1966 finals and later found by a mongrel named Pickles. While under the custody of the Brazilians, the World Cup was yet again stolen. This prompted its replacement by a German goldsmith. The current trophy was designed in 1970 and is never permanently awarded to the winning team. Instead, it remains in FIFA's possession while the World Cup winners receive a replica. The trophy is 36 cm tall and comprises 18-karat gold. On the other hand, the base contains malachite stripes inlaid in the model. The unique design is courtesy of Silvio Gazzaniga.

Which Country has won the World Cup the Most Times?

Since the World Cup was formed, Brazil has won the tournament five times, making it the country with the most titles.

Records and Awards

Besides the famous World Cup trophy, FIFA offers teams and players multiple awards for their respective performances. For example, the tournament's best player receives the Golden Ball, whereas the top scorer gets the Golden Boot.

Another award issued by FIFA is the Golden Glove. This prize is given to the best goalkeeper of the tournament. In addition to the prizes, FIFA has seen players and teams break numerous records since 1930. For example, Germany is the most consistent team in the World Cup, with 13 top-four finishes and 12 top-three finishes. On the other hand, Lothar Matthäus, Antonio Carbajal, and Rafael Márquez of Mexico are considered players with the most appearances. They have each made 5 appearances in the FIFA World Cup.

FIFA Rankings and Seeds

The FIFA ranking is a system used by the organisation to group national teams based on their results in previous tournaments. Teams with the most points are ranked higher, whereas those with fewer points receive a low ranking. This system was introduced in 1992, but the calculation format has changed over the years.

For the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Brazil has the highest ranking. The information received from team ranking is used for tournament seeding. Therefore, your rank will influence which pot you will end up in and which teams you will play against during the group stage.

Format of The FIFA World Cup Qatar

The FIFA World Cup in Qatar will start with the group stage. Later, the tournament will advance to the knockout stage, where the winners qualify for the quarter-finals. The teams that will win the quarter-finals will enter the semis, and the event will end at the finals. To understand the format better, here is a description of each stage.

Qualification - The Road to Qatar

The FIFA 2022 Qualifications involved hundreds of matches determining which 31 teams will join the host Qatar for the tournament. All 211 teams under FIFA were eligible to qualify for the World Cup, whereas Qatar qualified automatically.

Each confederation had a unique qualification system either through Round Robin matches, Home and Away or knockouts. At the end of the qualification stage, FIFA made a list of 32 teams which were then placed in four pots, and 8 groups of four were formed after a random selection.

Group Stage - Tables and Standings

The 2022 FIFA World Cup will start in the group stage. Here, every team in the group will play each other, and only two teams will proceed to the knockout stage. In case of a group stage draw, goals scored and goal difference will be used as Tie Breakers.

During the group stage, 46 matches will be played, and the last match will be between South Korea and Portugal at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan. At the end of the group stage, only the top 2 teams from each group will advance to the next stage.

Knockout Round

The knockout round or round 16 will see teams strive to remain in the tournament. This is because, during the knockout round, there must be a winner. There will be 30 minutes of extra time if the usual 90-minute session ends in a draw. After that, the two teams proceed to a penalty shootout to establish a winner. The knockout stage will see the winners of each group play against the runners-up from another group.

Quarter Finals

The quarter-finals will see winners from the knockout round play each other to see who advances to the semi-finals. Therefore, this stage will only have four matches. Following the fixtures closely you will have the chance to see which of the 6 teams has the highest chance of reaching the final and which teams are in the best form.

Semi-Finals

Getting match tickets for the FIFA 2022 World Cup semi-finals is probably a great idea, given the fact that this is one of the most critical stages of the tournament. The winners of the quarter-finals will meet up in the semi-finals. Therefore, only two matches will be played at this stage. The teams that win the semi-finals will advance to the finals.

3rd Place Play-Off

Before the finals, a third-place play-off by the losing teams from the semi-finals will be played. This single game will determine which of the two teams will come in third place. The teams that will be chosen to play the third-place play-off are the losers of the semi-final round.

Final

Once the third-place play-off is concluded and the bronze winner is determined, football fans will focus on the final game. This match will decide the winner of the FIFA 2022 World Cup Qatar edition. The two teams that will win their match during the semi-finals will play in the finals. Like the knockouts, the Final match will continue to extra time if there is no winner during the regular time. After extra time, teams will go for penalty shoot-outs.
