The final will be played at the Lusail Stadium in Doha a week before Christmas on Sunday, 18 December.
When is the draw?
By the end of March, we will know 28 of the 32 participants at the first winter World Cup.
The final three places will be decided in the intercontinental playoffs in June as well as the final European playoff final which has been delayed due to the Ukraine-Russia crisis.
The draw for the tournament takes place on Friday 1 April 2022, at the DECC venue in Doha, Qatar at circa 5pm BST.
