Convention FIFA World Cup 2022 — Nov 20 to Dec 18, hosted by Qatar. Argentina won the final.

About this edition

The 2022 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Qatar from 20 November to 18 December — the first World Cup held in the Arab world and the first in November-December due to the Gulf summer heat. Argentina won their third title, beating France in the final 4-2 on penalties after a 3-3 draw at Lusail Stadium on 18 December.

Lionel Messi scored twice in regulation and once in extra time to claim his first World Cup; Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick in defeat, becoming only the second player to score three goals in a World Cup final.
