Argentina will face France in a re-run of their epic quarterfinal match from last year.
In the Fifa World Cup 2022 final, Argentina will face France with both teams hoping to win the World Cup for the third time.
Lionel Messi led the South Americans to a 3-0 victory over Croatia as they advanced easily to the final.
Morocco proved to be a strong opponent and had spells of the game where they had the upper hand, but France fought valiantly to defeat them 2-0.
32 teams in all entered the 2022 Qatar World Cup with high expectations, but only one champion can be named following the completion of 64 games.
The tournament thus far has been filled of surprises, dark horses, and upsets.
England breezed through the group stages and overcame Senegal 3-0 in the round of 16, but lost 2-1 in a semifinal match versus France.
When is the FiFa World Cup 2022 Final?
The last match will take place on Qatar National Day – Sunday December 18, 2022.
What time is kick-off?
The final will kick-off at 08:30pm IST (3pm GMT).
Which stadium will host the final?
The Lusail Stadium will host the championship game that will determine the World Cup champions. Given the temperatures in Qatar, the roof of the cutting-edge, 80,000-seat stadium was “specifically chosen to provide shade” and features a futuristic style.
The location “shall be turned into a community area with schools, stores, cafés, athletic facilities, and health clinics,” according to the organisers, after the competition.
At an anticipated cost of $767 million, construction started in 2017 and was completed in 2021.
How have Argentina fared so far?
Argentina won their 3-0 semi-final match thanks in large part to Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez. After Livakovic, the Croatian goalkeeper, collided with Alvarez, Messi converted the penalty kick for the game’s first goal.
Soon after some shoddy Croatian defending, Alvarez quickly increased the lead from close range. Messi performed to the best of his abilities in the second half, giving Josko Gvardiol the runaround before setting up Alvarez to score Argentina’s third goal.
After a dramatic 2-2 tie in which Messi scored one goal and assisted on another, Argentina defeated the Netherlands in the quarterfinals thanks to goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez’s penalty-saving masterpiece.
Argentina defeated Australia 2-1 in the Round of 16 of the competition earlier. After a group round that began with a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia and ended with 2-0 victory over Mexico and Poland, that game represented a return to form.
How have France got on so far?
Les Bleus have maintained a solid appearance in their attempt to defend their title despite sustaining multiple injuries. With five goals thus far in the competition, Kylian Mbappe has terrorised defences and is currently tied with Messi for first place in the battle for the Golden Boot.
France took the lead against Morocco right away thanks to a goal from Theo Hernandez. Randal Kolo Muani’s goal very late in the game to seal the victory came after Morocco had controlled portions of the game but had difficulty producing any clear-cut chances.
They fought valiantly to defeat England 2-1 in the quarterfinal, and they were convincing in their 3-1 victory over Poland in the last 16.
France’s one slip was a 1-0 loss to Tunisia in their last gathering game – however Didier Deschamps sent a B group for that match as Les Bleus had proactively qualified.
What is Argentina’s World Cup records?
Argentina has two World Cup victories under its belt, in 1978 and 1986. The latter, which La Albiceleste won in Mexico, is one of the most famous victories in the tournament’s history. Diego Maradona, who was at the peak of his abilities, served as captain.
He created five goals and scored five throughout his productive seven-year tenure with Napoli, including the notorious Hand of God goal and the crazy 60-yard run afterwards named “Goal of the Century” in a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over England.
They also came in second place in 1990 and 2014, losing to Germany in the championship game in each case.
What is France’s World Cup record?
France won in Russia and is currently the defending champion. In 1998, they also triumphed on their home field. In 2006, they finished second in Germany, losing to Italy on penalties as a result of Zinedine Zidane’s infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi. Only two nations, Brazil and Italy, have won back-to-back World Cups.
What is Argentina and France’s results history?
Twelve games between Argentina and France have resulted in six Argentina victories, three France victories, and three draws.
Their most recent meeting took place in the 2018 World Cup, where they engaged in an exciting quarterfinal match that France won 4-3. That day, Kylian Mbappe seized a brace.
There had only ever been two World Cup games between them. Argentina triumphed 1-0 in the tournament’s debut match and also won 2-1 in the group stage in 1978.
Where is the next World Cup taking place?
The United States, Canada, and Mexico will host the 2026 World Cup in a tournament first after the group’s bid defeated Morocco’s forceful one. The competition matches will be contested in 16 locales, including 11 in the United States, 2 in Canada, and 3 in Mexico.
History of the trophy
For the 1974 World Cup, which was held in West Germany, the Fifa World Cup Trophy took the place of the original Jules Rimet Trophy, which was named in honour of the Fifa president who served the longest.
Fifa received 53 designs for the new trophy, and they ultimately chose the one made by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga. With two stylized players supporting the world, the trophy symbolises the happiness of victory.
The trophy is 6.175kg in weight and 36.8cm high and is made of solid 18 carat gold. Two semiprecious green malachite rings that are 13 cm in diameter and have undergone multiple restorations as well as the installation of a fresh layer of gold plating make up the base.
Fifa made the decision to stop giving the original trophy to the victorious team after the most recent repair in 2005.
Before the next World Cup, cup holders were permitted to keep it on display in the trophy cabinet of their federation. Since 2006, the original cup has only been presented to the team as part of the formal award ceremony before being taken away by FiFa staff. The original is then duplicated and presented to the winning nation.
