A few minutes ago, the draw was completed, which determined the order of the members of the Group Stage to be played during the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, even if some keys are still to be defined in the playoff phase in the coming months. For now, we have already formed the eight groups and although we do not have a ”group of death”, we could have one of the most competitive editions we have seen in a WorldCup in the last decades.
This is the group stage of the most important tournament in international soccer, being the 2022 edition one of the most unique and controversial in recent years, which will start on November 21, 2022.
