Getting into the FIFA World Cup Schedule

The FIFA World Cup occurs once every four years, so when it does it’s critical to follow the schedule.

The eight groups of four teams are drawn together about eight months before the World Cup takes place, so there is quite a bit of time to analyze the pairings and make predictions.

The schedule is tight, so the month that the World Cup takes place is pure utopia for football fans. This makes the tournament so unique.

The group stages go by much quicker than traditional club tournaments, as teams play in neutral zones, so there is no need to play home and away. Three group stage matches fly by, and before you know it, the knockout stages begin.

FIFA World Cups typically take place in the Summer, although this upcoming one in 2022 will take place in December for weather purposes.

FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup is the most watched sporting competition in the world, with over a billion people turning into the 2018 World Cup Final.

When a World Cup rolls around, nations rally together and get behind the players that represent them. The World Cup has truly always been considered to be the most glorious of football tournaments, and the matches generally never fail to disappoint.

The best players from around the world get to compete against one another, and viewership is unparalleled to other football competitions. It always has been.

History of FIFA World Cup Schedule.

The history of the FIFA World Cup schedule has not changed since the first tournament in 1930. The contest takes long club football seasons into account, but the incredible history has proven that these countries deserve the spotlight once in a while as well.

First, teams play three group stage games each, and after those games, sixteen teams qualify for a spot in the Round of Sixteen. After that game comes the Quarters, Semis, and Final. This structure will always remain the same.
