When will the World Cup take place in 2022? The dates for the 2022 World Cup have not yet been officially announced, but we do know that it will be hosted by Qatar. The competition will begin on November 21, and the tournament will finish on July 15 with the final in Lusail, Qatar. It will feature 32 teams playing in eight groups of four. In addition to the hosts, the tournament will feature several other host countries.
The 22nd FIFA World Cup will kick off on November 21, and the tournament will end on December 18, 2022. Qatar won the bid for the World Cup, and will host matches in eight stadiums across five cities. The tournament is a group stage event, so the first two teams will play each other. Brazil is the favorite, but France, the defending champion, is a distant second. France has odds of 6/1 for winning the World Cup in 2022.
England has been drawn in Group B, alongside their bitter rivals, the United States. They'll face off on the opening day of the World Cup against the winner of UEFA Path A. England's squad is led by Tottenham striker Harry Kane. Jarrod Bowen and Conor Gallagher could also vie for a place in the team. Most of the players from the Euros will be returning to the World Cup.
The first play-off is scheduled to take place in June, after which the UEFA section's qualifying games have been postponed. Ukraine is unable to participate in the tournament due to Russian invasion. However, two inter-confederation play-offs are pencilled in for mid-June. Nations from the AFC, CONMEBOL and OFC sections will be competing in these matches. The full list of teams that qualified for the tournament can be found below.
France is the early favorite to win the tournament in Qatar. Their star players produced a generation of world-class talent that has brought them to the World Cup. Last year, they reached the semi-finals and final. Their squad has a talented core of players. Their recent history of success has bolstered their chances of reaching the knockout stage. This team's World Cup 2022 odds are very good, but France should have no problem advancing to the knockout rounds.
Spain is the underdog in Group E, but could surprise the rest of the field. They face Costa Rica, Japan, and New Zealand. If they win all three games, they'll be able to take home the trophy. The odds are still unknown, so check them out before betting. There are plenty of other factors to keep an eye on. In the meantime, be sure to enjoy the games.

France was eliminated in the knockout round of the Euro 2020 tournament and has struggled to qualify for the World Cup again. However, this team has a lot of talent and could be a strong contender. With Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann leading the team with four goals, they are the favorites to win the World Cup. Another exciting prospect is the return of Karim Benzema, who has scored ten goals in 16 appearances for France since his six-year exile.
