The group stage draw for the most prestigious soccer competition in the world, the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, was held in the DECC venue in Doha, Qatar. The champions will earn $42 million (Rs. 344 crores), while the losing finalist will pocket $30 million (Rs. 245 crores).
The faith of how the 32 countries participating in the World Cup will start their journey was decided yesterday as the teams were shared into 8 groups. The 32-team tournament will take place for almost a month, with the final scheduled to take place on December 18 in Lusail.
The competition is the biggest prize in football, and all 32 teams will be aiming to lift the trophy and crown themselves world champions. Every player will have the desire to produce eye-catching performances that will put their name in the history books.
While the honour of playing in and winning the tournament is second to none, the financial benefits the tournament brings cannot be ignored either. All 32 participating teams will take home a massive amount from Qatar, with the winners and runners-up set to earn a huge windfall.
