The Winter World Cup is casting its shadow: The schedule for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is set.
All information about the pairings and dates.
Doha - Since the World Cup was awarded in 2010, football fans have had to get used to the idea that the 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar.
A country without a great football tradition, which is about half the size of Hesse and which has to host the World Cup in winter because it's too hot in summer.
Everything had to be tailored to the big event.
The necessary infrastructure had to be built, not to mention the stadiums.
The tournament has been overshadowed by scandals over the past twelve years.
Starting with the award, which is under strong suspicion of corruption.
The human rights situation in the country has repeatedly attracted attention, and the poor accommodation of some of the workers responsible for building the stadiums has also been widely reported.
FIFA moderated all the worries and steadfastly stuck to the project.
There is no getting past the World Cup.
At the latest since the qualification and the draw for the group phase, the competition has also taken on a sporting structure.
The game plan is set and the dates of the individual games as well.
Only three participants are missing.
Due to the war in Ukraine, the playoff game between Scotland and Ukraine cannot take place until June.
Final opponents Wales will also have to wait until then.
Due to the corona pandemic, the relegation winners between North America - Oceania and South America - Asia are still open.
Schedule for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: when and where will the DFB team play?
Since the draw for the World Cup groups on April 1, 2022, it has been clear: Germany will play Japan first, then Spain, who heads the group, and finally the winner of the playoff game, Costa Rica, against New Zealand.
Due to its position in the FIFA world rankings, Germany only ended up in the second pot of the group draw.
As the second team in a group, you have nominally two "away games", but this does not affect the sporting details or the ticket allocation for the respective fan groups, but is for purely organizational purposes.
