The FIFA World Cup 2022 will be held in Qatar from November 20 to December 18 and fans in Sri Lanka can watch the upcoming football event live on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 will see 32 teams from five confederations vying for the coveted trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teams are host Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, the Netherlands, England, Iran, USA, Wales, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland, France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia, Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Canada, Morocco, and Croatia, Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon, Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, and South Korea. France are the reigning champions, having won the 2018 edition in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be the first time that a country from the Middle East will host the FIFA World Cup and consequently, the first edition being held outside the typical June-July window earmarked for the quadrennial showpiece. This was done to avoid the desert heat in Qatar during summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eight stadiums across Qatar will be used as venues for the 64 FIFA World Cup 2022 matches. The opener will see hosts Qatar face Ecuador at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor. The match starts at 9:30 PM Sri Lankan Standard Time (IST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
