2022 World Cup To Feature Four Matches Per Day During Group Stage 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:24 pm

The 2022 World Cup will contain an unprecedented four matches per day spread out over 11 hours during the group stage.

With the relatively short travel distances for the venues in and around Doha, it could be possible for fans who travel to the 32-team tournament to attend multiple games each day.

Nasser Al Khater, CEO of the Qatar World Cup organising company, said plans for the tournament were well on schedule with 90% of the work finished on roads and infrastructure.

\"When we talk about the stadiums, more than 85% of the work has been completed and really now, the last two years, we\'re focusing on our operation readiness and making sure we get the fan experience plans in place,\" he said.

The 32-team tournament draw was planned for April 2022, likely in Doha. The earliest option is now to hold it in June ahead of the Nov. 21-Dec. 18 tournament.
