The 2022 FIFA World Cup was the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international men's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It was held in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022. This was the first World Cup to be held in the Arab world and the first to be held entirely in a single city, Doha.

The tournament featured 32 national teams, each representing their respective countries. The teams were divided into eight groups of four teams each, and they played a round-robin format to determine the top two teams from each group that would advance to the knockout stage. The knockout stage included the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.

The final match of the 2022 World Cup was played between Argentina and France on 18 December 2022 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail, Qatar. Argentina won the match 4-2 after extra time, securing their third World Cup title. Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentine team, was a key player in this victory, having played a significant role in the team's success throughout the tournament.
