World Cup Up Date

 

It seems that the World Cup is set to start one day earlier than planned on Sunday, 20 November with hosts Qatar taking on Ecuador as it should be. 

The Group A opener was due to be played on 21 November, as the third match of the competition. The opening match of the tournament was to be Senegal against the Netherlands, earlier on the Monday. 

However, the administrative arm of world governing body Fifa has submitted a proposal to move the Qatar game. It followed discussions with Qatar and their opponents Ecuador, after receiving a request from the South American confederation Conmebol.
