About fifa world cup 2022

The 2022 World Cup will create a new chapter in the competition's history, despite plenty of controversy over FIFA's decision to select Qatar as the host.

But what else can we expect as the game's biggest spectacle takes in a brand new venue? MORE: Where is World Cup 2022 being held?

The project to bring the tournament to Qatar has been more than 10 years in the making, and has included the mammoth task of building seven brand new stadiums, as well as upgrading the c...

This time, at 35, he became the first player to score in every round of a single tournament in the modern World Cup format, leading the way to a glory long-pursued in his extraordinary career. Here's a look at what happened in the final, who scored and what was said, as well as some of the highlights.

Les Bleus had looked imperious at times on their way to the final but were well off their best for much of normal time – perhaps because of a flu outbreak that had swept through their camp in the days beforehand, but compounded by their opponents' composed dominance. Kylian Mbappe has established himself as Messi's pr...
