Qatar, the FIFA World Cup hosts, will play Ecuador in the tournament’s opening match on November 20 at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar.
They were scheduled to play on November 21, but the football body announced on August 11 that the Bureau of the FIFA Council unanimously decided to move the opening match and ceremony of this year’s tournament to Al Bayt Stadium by one day.
This ensures the continuation of a long-standing tradition in which the FIFA World Cup begins with a match between the hosts and the defending champions.
Since their competitive international debut in 1970, the Maroons have never qualified for the World Cup finals.
Senegal, who was supposed to play the Netherlands in the first match, will now play in the second match on November 21 at the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
The match is preceded by England’s first Group B match against Asian giants Iran at the Khalifa International Stadium.
France, the defending champions, will play their first game against Australia in Group D.
Five-time winners on record Brazil, which is in Group G, will face Serbia in their first match, while Portugal, which qualified through the European playoffs, will face Ghana.
Canada, the first CONCACAF team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup and making their only second appearance at football’s pinnacle event, will face Belgium in round one.
The FIFA World Cup Round of 16 will take place between December 3 and December 7, with the quarter-finals taking place between December 9 and December 11.
The semi-finals will take place on December 14 and 15, with the Bronze final on December 18.
The FIFA World Cup final will be held on December 19 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.
