The FIFA World Cup 2022 will be the first football World Cup hosted by the Arab world and the first to take place in the northern autumn owing to Qatar’s intense heat and humidity. It will see 32 teams participating for the title, with favorites like Brazil and Argentina all set to take on the current champions, France.

Giovanni Vincenzo Infantino, FIFA president, has estimated 5 billion people around the globe tuning in to watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup, making it the most-watched FIFA event in history. Depending on where you live, you can tune in to the official TV broadcaster in your country to enjoy the World Cup 2022 at home.
