The schedule for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is confirmed, with four group games a day and the Final on December 18.

That the tournament is being held in the winter is nothing new, given the excessively-hot summer climate in Qatar.

Now, FIFA has announced that there will be four games per group-stage matchday over a span of 12 days.

Qatar’s small size also means fans are able to travel to two matches in the same day, without the need to fly.
