The first game is on November 21, 2022, with Senegal versus the Netherlands. Germany was the first country to secure a place in the group stage which is not surprising to anyone as we all understood how good they would be.

By far one of the most interesting if not the most interesting draw is the teams located in Group B such as England vs the United States. This matchup created a lot of tension between the fans 0f the two countries as they are always taking shots at one another’s pronunciation of words. “Soccer vs Football” is what people are calling it.

Portugal and Poland barely made it after winning their playoff matches. Portugal beat Macedonia while Poland overcame Sweeden in their match.

There will be four matches a day, once the group stage commences in a total of 12 days. There will be a third-place game on December 17.

Here are some of them.

Group A: Senegal vs Netherlands (Al Thumama Stadium, Al Khor; kick-off 10 am)
