The World Cup, Qatar 2022 is the biggest football event in this calendar year.
When we are 5 months away from the start of the championship, we are presenting you some very interesting facts.
Initially, for the first time since the 1934 World Cup, Italy in this edition will be just one debut representative, Qatar.
24 representatives are the same as in the last edition Russia 2018. Compared to the last World Cup, only 8 representatives are “fresh”. (Qatar, Netherlands, Canada, Ecuador, Wales, USA, Cameroon, Ghana)
For the first time in history it happens that all the representatives who have come from the qualifiers of the respective continents, have played before in the World Cup, so there will be no debut teams, with the exception of Qatar, the host country.
Canada and Wales, the two representatives who return after many years. Canada returns to the finals after 36 years, while Wales returns after 64 years. The latter have also set a record, as no European (non-debutant) representative had been absent for so long at a World Cup.
For the first time in history, Italy (4 times world champions) does not touch the final stage of a World Cup in two consecutive editions.
Brazil is the only representative to have participated in any World Cup (22) and holds the absolute record with 109 games, 73 wins and 5 championships.
