A look back at the Rio World Cup ahead of Qatar 2022
Lovers of international soccer are poised for a grandstand finish to the year with the FIFA World Cup coming from Qatar. The play - which was delayed by five months to help organisers avoid the dangerously high temperatures suffered in the region during the summer months of June and July - begins on 20th November, with the final played on 18th December. It’ll be strange watching a World Cup final after between bouts of Christmas shopping, and watching the game with a hot chocolate rather than a cold beer will take some getting used to for fans.
