Qatar World Cup 2022 final: match date, kick-off time and which teams could play

The 22nd edition of the Fifa World Cup, being hosted in Qatar, will soon be upon us, with 32 teams set to battle it out across 64 matches.

FIFA has said that all "information regarding ticketing for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will be available in due course."

The last and only time England have reached a World Cup final is in 1966.

England’s next best performances were in the 1990 World Cup in
