FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Final Draw to Be Held on April 1

The draw ceremony will be held in the presence of 2,000 special guests at Doha Exhibition and Convention Center. After the event, the world’s best international teams will be able to plot their routes to the FIFA World Cup Final™, which will take place at the 80,000-capacity Lusail Stadium on December 18.

Fans are already planning their trips to Qatar, which will host the most compact version of the FIFA World Cup in modern history. All eight stadiums are within an hour of central Doha – meaning that fans, players and officials will always be in the thick of the action during the 28-day tournament, which kicks off at Al Bayt Stadium on November 21. And uniquely in the modern era, fans will have the chance to attend more than one match a day at the beginning of the tournament.

Fans applied for more than 17 million tickets during the initial random draw selection, with many supporters already securing their seats during the current payment phase, which finishes on March 21 at 1 pm Doha time.

Iran is the first Asian team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
