What to keep in mind while packing for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022

The World Cup will be staged in the Middle East for the first time ever.

The World Cup is held in the fall; why is that? The 2022 World Cup will begin on November 20 and conclude with the final on December 18, despite often taking place in the summer.

The official English-language broadcast partner in the United States for the 2022 FIFA World Cup is the FOX Sports family of networks, as well as the FOX Sports app.

Al Bayt Stadium, Ahmad Bin Stadium, Al Janoub Stadium, Al Thumama Stadium, Education City Stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, Stadium 974, and Lusail Stadium, which will host the Final, are just a few of the eight venues in Qatar where the tournament will be played.

32 teams will compete in the event this year, divided into eight groups of four teams each, denoted by the letters A through H

Each group's victor and runner-up will go to the knockout stage, beginning with the Round of 16.

Brazil is the tournament favourite, with odds of +450, ahead of England at +500, France at +550, and Argentina at +550, according to FOX Bet.

France won the championship in 2018, and since then, its team has only gotten better.
