The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar kicks off on November 20 instead of the twenty-first of the same month, after the organizers decided to present the opening match on the same day, official sources said on Wednesday.
The opening match between Qatar and Ecuador was supposed to take place on 21 November, but it was not the first match on the day.
The Council of the International Football Association (FIFA) and the Qatari organizers have agreed to the amendment, sources said.
