IT’S about to start! On Sunday, November 20, 2022, it begins. The greatest sporting event – THE WORLD CUP.

There are many other World cups, but in essence, the football world cup takes the pinnacle. So, prepare for the greatest sporting event of the year. I am a mad fan of the football world cup and for the purist, it is difficult to call it soccer.

There will be 32 teams competing in 64 matches for one prize. It is the 22nd edition of the competition and the first in the Arab world, thanks largely to our own Jack Warner.
