The World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet and the upcoming tournament will be held in Qatar in 2022.

Many of the best international teams will be taking part, meaning that some of the game's biggest names will be strutting their stuff on a global stage.

Before it all happens, the group stage draw must take place. So when is it and how can you watch it? GOAL has all the details.

The group stage draw for World Cup 2022 will be held on April 1, 2022. It will start at 5pm BST (12 noon ET).

With the tournament beginning on November 21, that means teams will have just over seven months to get ready for their opponents and to fine-tune their preparations.

The draw will be held in Doha, Qatar and it will coincide with the 72nd FIFA Congress, which is taking place in the city a day beforehand.

Doha is the capital city of Qatar and has a population of just over two million people. It will host a number of World Cup games and is no stranger to staging football events, having hosted the World Youth Championship in 1995, along with the Asia Cup in 1988 and 2011.
