The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 represents the hope that the longed-for day will come for one of the countries with the greatest passion for soccer, England. And the fact is that this land boasts that this sport as it is known today was born in its entrails. A source of pride, but also of frustration.
And the fact is that the cradle of soccer has ample showcases in which there is only one trophy. With the exception of the FIFA World Cup held in England in 1966, the Three Lions have not been able to win another elite tournament. Many times, in spite of being pointed out as candidates to achieve it.
That is why Qatar 2022, the names of Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho and Gareth Southgate himself are exciting England fans to finally taste international success. And if you will enjoy this tournament from that country, keep reading because this will be your guide to know when, at what time and how to watch the 64 matches of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Time difference between Qatar and England
Less than 6,000 kilometers separate the birthplace of modern soccer from the host country of the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup. A privileged position compared to many of the other 30 National Teams that will play in the tournament, as the time difference is very small.
So in England, the upcoming World Cup Qatar 2022 will be enjoyed only two hours ahead of the local time in the host country. A very convenient schedule because there will be no need to get up early or stay up late to enjoy all the soccer action that will take place from November 20 to December 18.
