FIFA World Cup Schedule 2022
An updated FIFA World Cup schedule for 2022 has been released. This World Cup will be held in Qatar, and FIFA has created a special card just for spectators. A government-issued document by the name of Hayya Card, also known as Fan ID, is required to enter any stadium to watch a FIFA World Cup game. Only those who possess this card and match tickets are permitted entry into the stadium. For each match, you do not need to use a different card. Each and every match will only accept one card. According to the government of Qatar, those who possess a Hayya card will be able to apply for a special visa that will allow them to stay in the country for two months. Its due date will begin ten days prior to the FIFA World Cup. Get this card before the time expires so that you can travel to and from Qatar whenever you like.
The tournament’s opening match will be played on November 20 at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar, by the FIFA World Cup 2022 hosts, Qatar, against Ecuador.
The opening game and ceremony of the 2018 tournament at Al Bayt Stadium were originally scheduled for November 21, but the football organization announced on August 11 that the FIFA Council’s Bureau unanimously decided to move them up by one day.

At the Khalifa International Stadium, Group B’s opening match features England playing Asian powerhouse Iran before the subsequent match.
Australia will be the opponent for the opening match of Group D’s reigning champions France.
