FIFA changes the start of the World Cup just for Qatar to play the first match
The World Football Federation (FIFA) made a decision to start the World Cup, which will be held in Qatar this year, one day earlier than planned.
The World Cup was supposed to start on November 21, but will be moved a day earlier due to the host.
Namely, if the World Cup starts on November 21, it will open with the match of Group C between the Netherlands and Senegal, but the organizer is trying to make FIFA change the decision so that Qatar can play the first match. Until now, the World Cups were opened with the matches of the host or the world champion.

With the new date, November 20, the World Cup will be opened by the host Qatar, who will play against Ecuador in Group A.
The final word should be given by FIFA, but the world media claim that the decision will be confirmed.
