The build-up to the tournament has been dominated by criticism of labour conditions in Qatar. The FIFA Council also extended the mandate of the existing Normalisation Committee for the Ivorian Football Association until April 30 and appointed a Normalisation Committee for the Namibia Football Association until 30 April next year. The current match calendars for women’s and men’s football are set to expire in 2023 and 2024 respectively. Temporary measures related to the status and transfer of players due to war will also be ratified. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is expected to a central topic at the FIFA Congress in Doha, while the proposal for a biennial FIFA World Cup appears to have been placed on the back burner by the governing body. The 72nd FIFA Congress will take place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center in Qatar’s capital city tomorrow, with the draw for the men’s FIFA World Cup due to take place the following day.

The pressure is also on Qatar to continue legislating after the World Cup to protect workers more. There is still concern about the enforcement of those rules on construction sites across the ever-expanding Doha skyline. “What has been done already is really ground-breaking in a very short time,” Infantino said. The push for biennial World Cups has stalled, though, as Infantino pulled back from railroading through those plans this week after Europe and South America resisted to the point of threatening boycotts. But changes have been enacted by Qatar, including a minimum wage, stricter working regulations and more freedom for workers to leave jobs. “We’re at a complete impasse because everything is stuck between institutional and personal bickering and fighting,” Baer-Hoffmann said.

A team’s path through to the quarterfinals, semifinals and final is set in the bracket. Why is the schedule so tight? The 32-team lineup is the perfect number for a knockout bracket. Canada is back in the World Cup after a 36-year gap. Each four-team group is a round-robin of six games in total. That team also gets just two full days off before a round of 16 game on Dec. 5. The next eight highest-ranked qualifiers go into Pot 2, which is the second to be drawn. Qatar’s debut opens the tournament on Monday, Nov. 21 at Al Bayt Stadium. The top two teams in each group — where goal difference is the first tiebreaker — advance to the round of 16. Is there a “good” or “bad” section of the draw to land in? Qatar is currently No. 52. This unpredictability means the two highest-ranked teams in a group could meet in any of the three rounds.

Qatari organisers will use the congress as a chance to reassure FIFA delegates that their preparations are on schedule and to tell any still sceptical supporters that they can expect an enjoyable visit to the Gulf country. One source said it may still be possible for such a call to be made from the floor of the congress by a delegate but such an appeal would not be able to be acted upon according to the organisation’s statutes.
