With the Women’s European Championships dominating the summer football calendar, the 2022 Men’s World Cup will close out a hectic year of football.
Taking place in the middle of the typical European football season, the Qatar World Cup begins on 21 November and will wrap up with the final on 18 December – exactly a week before Christmas Day.
And while it’s been difficult to find excitement for a World Cup that is taking place in the middle of the club season, we’ll all be riddled with tournament football fever before we know it.
In what will be the final World Cup to feature 32 teams before the competition moves to a 48 team format in 2026, current holders France have a tough task of defending their crown with the competition as high as ever.
