FAQ: About the Qatar 2022 World Cup
Who is the favourite to win the World Cup final?
According to oddschecker.com, after the semi-finals, France are extremely narrow favourites to win the competition at 10/11, while Argentina are at evens to win. Meaning, the bookies are basically saying this one is too close to call.
Anything could happen in the final on Sunday. Will Messi officially be written into the World Cup history books, or will Mbappe win his second World Cup at just 23 years old?
Whatever happens, make sure you don’t miss ANY of it, by signing up for ExpressVPN today.
Who has scored the most goals so far in the competition?
Almost as if by fate, the players with the joint-most goals at Qatar 2022 are (yes, you guessed it) Messi with five goals in six games for Argentina and Mbappe with five in six for France.
So, not only will the winner of the competition be settled on Sunday, but the golden boot could be to. Alternatively, we could see the prestigious honour shared between two true footballing greats.
So make sure you set up ExpressVPN right away, so you don’t miss history being made in front of your eyes… all for FREE!
Who was the strongest team in the group stage?
For the first time since 1994, no nation won all three of their group stage fixtures, showing how competitive this years’ competition has been. There were three teams who gained seven points in the group stages: Morocco, England and the Netherlands.
So statistically, they performed the best. Of course, Morocco are the only one of the trio still in the competition.
But can the African side secure a historic third-place finish against Croatia? All you need is ExpressVPN to find out!
How much does a FIFA World Cup ticket cost?
Category 1 tickets for World Cup matches sell for as much as 2,250 QAR (approximately $600), while tickets for the final can cost up to 5,850 QAR (approximately £1365, $1,600).
For more information, visit www.fifa.com/tickets.
Luckily though, you can stream both of the remaining matches for FREE if you sign up for ExpressVPN and then use one of the many methods we have mentioned!
Why is the 2022 World Cup in November?
The World Cup is traditionally held in the summer.
However, since Qatar was announced as the host nation for the 2022 tournament, it was moved to the winter given summer temperatures in the Middle Eastern country can reach average daily highs of over 41 degrees Celsius (106F).
Why is Qatar a controversial venue for the 2022 World Cup?
Several issues made Qatar a controversial choice for hosting the World Cup.
Most significantly, there have been widespread accusations of poor working conditions for the migrant workers who built the football stadiums in the country.
Since Qatar was announced as the venue for the 2022 World Cup in 2011, an estimated 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in the country.
This has raised serious moral questions over whether the World Cup should have been allowed to take place in Qatar at all, a nation which already had a poor human rights record.
Beyond this, global football schedules have been affected by the decision to hold a World Cup in the winter, with the majority of leagues being temporarily suspended for the tournament.
Finally, there are strict regulations in place for tourists who wish to attend World Cup games. You can find details of these regulations on the Gov.UK website.
Where will the 2026 World Cup be held?
The next World Cup will be held in North America, with matches being played across the continent in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Is the World Cup trophy real gold?
The original ‘Jules Rimet’ World Cup trophy was made of gold-plated sterling silver and lapis lazuli, with an estimated value of $20 million. It was stolen in 1983 and never recovered.
Today, the winners receive a bronze replica, which is gold-plated. Now, let’s get ready to find out who will lift the famous trophy this year! All you need is ExpressVPN to catch ALL the action!
