Where to watch the World Cup opener between Qatar and Ecuador in the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and more.
Sunday marks the beginning of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with Qatar hosting Ecuador at the Al Bayt Stadium. It is the first World Cup appearance for the Gulf state, while the South American nation will be participating in its fourth.
Since October, Qatar has played four friendlies and has a perfect record. They are the defending Asian champions, so it would be foolish to underestimate them. Taking advantage of the favourable conditions at home, the Maroons will seek three points against Senegal and Netherlands in their subsequent matches.

In 2006, when they won their opening group game, Ecuador advanced to the knockout round for the sole time. They’ve kept six consecutive clean sheets since June, making them a formidable foe. However, they have lacked a cutting edge in attack and have only scored twice in the same time frame. They are only six spots above Qatar (44th) in the FIFA rankings, which should make for an intriguing matchup.
