After the group stage pairings are determined, we can begin to make educated guesses about which teams would be in the best position to move on to the knockout stages.
FIFA World Cup 2022
Mexico and Argentina will compete in Group C. At the same time, Luis Suarez and Uruguay will challenge Cristiano Ronaldo in Group H. England will face the United States in Group B, and Mexico will play Argentina and Lionel Messi in Group C.
A championship match is scheduled for Sunday, December 18, less than a month after the competition begins on Monday, November 21. Brazil will start the tournament as the world’s best team and will be in a manageable group while reigning champions France will be anticipated to finish first in their group and will have a chance to build up a head of steam during the tournament.
Which clubs have the potential to be surprised? A team of champions from Africa is Senegal, a perennial contender among the better teams in Group A, including the hosts Qatar. Canada qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 37 years and was assigned to Group F, where it will hope to compete with Morocco and Croatia for second place after the host country Belgium.
FIFA World Cup Schedule 2023

FIFA World Cup Facts
World Cup 2023 is set to take place between November 21 and December 18, and it will be unlike any other in several ways.
- The World Cup in 2023 will be the shortest tournament in history, lasting just 28 days, making it the shortest since the 1978 edition.
- The World Cup in 2023 will be the last edition to include 32 countries; the number will increase to 48 teams the following year.
- Qatar serves as the host nation for the 2023 World Cup, which will take place in Qatar’s winter months to avoid the country’s scorching summer temperatures, even though the World Cup traditionally takes place in June and July.
- As a result, it will be the first time the World Cup has been held in the Middle East.
- Every host stadium is within a 35-mile radius of Doha, making it very accessible for spectators to travel to many games.

We as African we suppose to support France because most of the players coming from Africa
It’s Football you can support whom ever regardless of origin, religion etc etc. I love the French team because of how they play not where their players are originally from. For your info, there are 5 African teams in a he World Cup and guess what ALL THEIR PLAYERS ARE AFRICAN. Should they have more support than France according to your logic. Enjoy the World Cup and hope your team has a good run.
