A glittering draw show, starring some of the greatest names in football and the entertainment industry, defined the groups and initial fixtures of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. While 29 teams can now glimpse their team’s path all the way to the final, the remaining eight will fight for the last three spots at the play-offs in June.
