FIFA World Cup, Opening Ceremony: The first match of the prestigious football event will be between the host country Qatar and Ecuador at 9:30 PM
The FIFA World Cup 2022 will kick off with a ceremony on 20 November before the opening Group A match between hosts Qatar and Ecuador. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 7:30am. The opening ceremony was supposed to take place before Qatar’s first match on Monday, and this would have resulted in the unusual situation of the two matches that took place before it. The first match in Qatar was promoted a day later.
The 60,000-seat Al Bayt Stadium, 40 kilometers north of Doha, will host the opening ceremony. The furthest from the center of Doha but also one of the largest venues, Al Bayt Stadium is named after and modeled after the nomadic tents used in the Gulf. It also has a retractable roof.
The full list of artists for the opening ceremony has not yet been released by FIFA. Jungkook, one of the seven members of the South Korean boy group, will be performing a song called “Dreamers” at the event, according to bts. Black Eyed Peas, Robbie Williams and Nora Fatehi were also mentioned as potential artists at the opening ceremony, according to The Telegraph.
The rumor that British singer Dua Lipa will perform was denied by the singer. According to some Spanish media reports, it was reported that Shakira will not perform. The Times reported that singer Rod Stewart turned down a concert in Qatar that would pay over $1 million.
British pop star Williams and Russian soprano Aida Garifullina took the stage at the opening ceremony for the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Moscow. Both FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Russian President Vladimir Putin made speeches at the opening ceremony.
