World Cup 2022 matches: calendar and schedule

Groups of the World Cup 2022, matches and layouts in them

The composition of the groups for the Fifa World Cup on football was determined after a series of qualifying tournaments: Asia, South America, North and Central America, Europe and Africa. Read more about the schedule of each group and possible layouts below.

Group A at the World Cup

The 2022 FIFA World Cup matches will begin with Group A, which will feature the teams of Qatar, Senegal, the Netherlands and Ecuador. According to the betting odds and the opinion of experts, Van Gaal’s team will be an obvious candidate for leaving the group. The Netherlands will play in the first match of the 2022 World Cup on November 21 with the Senegal national team led by Mane and Koulibaly. This is the second strongest rival in Group A. In the second round, Van Dijk’s team will play with Ecuador on November 25, the third round match with the hosts may not decide anything for the Dutch team.

But in a pair of Ecuador - Senegal on November 29 at the Khalifa stadium in Doha, the fate of reaching the playoffs can be decided. For the Qatar national team, the opening match on November 20 will be decisive, they got the weakest team from group A - Ecuador. The young Qataris have a chance to catch on for points with the Spanish coach Felix Bass.

Group A matches of the FIFA World Cup will be held at three stadiums from 20 to 29 November:

1. “El-Bayt” in El-Khaur;

2. “El-Tumama” in Doha;

3. “Khalifa” in Doha.

Group B: matches at the 2022 World Cup

In group B at the World Cup in Qatar, two irreconcilable rivals from Europe were caught: the teams of England and Wales. They are the favorites in this group, their face-to-face match will take place in the third round on November 29th. But it is far from certain that both teams will decide the issue of reaching the playoffs of the World Cup. The US team is taking the young team to Qatar with Pulisic and Musah, in the first round on November 21 they will have a match with the Wales team. This is a great opportunity to earn points and chances to pass. The Iran national team with Azmoun and Taremi is too weak compared to their rivals in Group B. On November 21, they will immediately be tested by the silver medalist of the last Euro - the England team with a huge number of talented youth.

The World Cup Group B matches will take place from 21 to 29 November at 4 Qatari stadiums:

1. “Ahmed bin Ali” in Er Rayyan;

Group C: 2022 FIFA World Cup fixtures

The great Lionel Messi is likely on his way to his last major tournament. His Argentina national team will have the final chance to win gold in this generation. In group C at the World Cup, Messi’s group was not the most difficult. The team of Lionel Scaloni will start on November 22 with a match against the outsider of the group - Saudi Arabia. You can’t think of a better start. In another match of the first round, two rivals for second place will meet - the teams of Mexico with Lozano and Poland with Lewandowski. The Poles have a simpler calendar for the 2022 World Cup, they will meet with Argentina only in the last round. Messi will test Mexico on November 30, the intrigue in group C will remain until the last round.

Group E: 2022 FIFA World Cup schedule

The layouts in Group E of the future World Cup are clear to both fans and experts. The two hegemons of European football, the national teams of Spain and Germany will decide from which place they will advance to the playoffs. The composition of the Germans looks preferable, for the Spaniards, the restructuring after the triumph in the 2010s is difficult. Legends Müller and Neuer, with a strong young backbone in the form of Havertz and Sane, look like favorites against Morata and Koke.

The chances of Costa Rica and Japan are estimated as minimal, the calendar of World Cup games in 2022 does not particularly favor them. In the first round on November 23 Team Germany will test Japan, and Spain will test Costa Rica. And on November 27, both world champions will play in a full-time duel. Some of them can earn 6 points and solve the issues of going further. Matches of the 3rd round will take place on December 1 at 22:00 local time.

Group E matches at the World Cup in Qatar will be held from November 23 to December 1 at four stadiums:

Group G at World Cup 2022: group matches

Group G fans are getting flashbacks from the 2018 World Cup in Russia: three out of four teams played at the last World Cup.

Group H at the World Cup: schedule of matches in the group

The FIFA World Cup calendar offered an incredibly interesting one.

They will play on December 2 in the 3rd round - crazy intrigue! Group H could well be called the group of “death”: Portugal and South Korea intend to reach the playoffs. And they will play in the 3rd round - it is impossible to imagine the layout, it will be a hot tournament for Ronaldo. And the last one for the great scorer.
