A total of 32 teams will take part across 64 matches over a period of 29 days.

Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 is the first World Cup in the Middle East.

There are eight groups of four teams, with the top two advancing to the 16-team knockout stage.

Qatar vs. Ecuador is the first match of the tournament.

The first World Cup ever played in November and December — to avoid Qatar’s desert heat — is just the starting point for other unique features.

For players and fans in Qatar, and viewers worldwide, the games come around early and often on a more intense schedule than any previous group stage. Four separate kickoff time slots are needed to make this tournament work, though they were used on the first Saturday of previous tournaments.

In Qatar, there will be back-to-back-to-back-to-back games for seven straight days to squeeze this World Cup into only 29 days.
