Only weeks separate us from the start of the 2022 World Cup, and the first event to be held in the Middle East promises to be different in many ways.
And not only because of the nature of the host country and the audience, but with a number of highly anticipated clashes having intriguing historical backgrounds.
The host’s national team, having been slated to kick off their campaign in the tournament’s third match on Nov. 21, will now face Ecuador a day earlier in Group A.
It is the first time such a change has been made at relatively short notice, but Qatar now will have the opening-day spotlight exclusively on them.
