2022 FIFA World Cup: Complete match schedule, fixtures for Qatar tournament

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is approaching, and every country has been confirmed. The group stage matchups are complete, so we can start speculating about who might have the best chance of moving on to the knockout stages.

The 2022 World Cup will be structured similarly to recent tournaments, with a 32-team group stage to reduce the field to 16, with the top two teams from each of the eight groups advancing.

These 16 group-stage teams will move on to the single-game knockout stages, which include the Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and final. In these matches, the victor advances and the loser is eliminated. Every knockout-round match must have a winner on the day, and if extra time or penalty kicks are required to decide the winner, they will be used.
