The draw for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is almost upon us!<\/p>\n

Following the latest round of international fixtures<\/a>, we know all but three of the finalists who will take their place in Qatar<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n

Hosts Qatar will play in the opening match of the tournament on 21st November, with the final set to take place just under one month later, on 18th December.<\/p>\n

Today (1st April), the groups will be drawn in Doha, with the world\u2019s biggest teams set to learn their fate.<\/p>\n

England supporters will once again be daring to dream of football coming home after Gareth Southgate\u2019s side fell agonisingly short at Euro 2020, while Wales and Scotland will still be hoping to secure qualification \u2013 which may come at the expense of the other\u2026<\/p>\n

But which teams will face each other at the tournament later this year? Here\u2019s everything you need to know about about the World Cup 2022 draw, from how to watch it live to the countries in every pot.<\/p>\n
