There will be 4 matches in a day during the group stage. The group stage will last for 12 days to provide all teams with optimal rest between their matches. FIFA said in their official statement: “The tournament’s compact nature – with no air travel needed to move between the venues – will allow organisers, for the first time, to optimise specific match demands for the benefit and comfort of fans, teams and media.”
FIFA further said: “For those eager to book their seats at Qatar 2022, hospitality sales are scheduled to start in late 2020. Ticket sales for the general public will be conducted solely via FIFA.com/tickets, where details on the timeline, phases, categories and prices will be communicated in due course.”
