Organizers have sold 2.45 million tickets for this year's World Cup in Qatar, world soccer governing body FIFA said on Thursday, with more than half a million of them sold in the last sales period from July 5-16.
FIFA said the biggest number of allocated tickets were for group stage matches like Cameroon vs. Brazil, Brazil vs. Serbia, Portugal vs. Uruguay, Costa Rica vs. Germany and Australia vs. Denmark.
Mexico received a devastating blow ahead of the 2022 World Cup: Jesús "Tecatito" Corona will NOT play in the tournament after suffering a severe injury during Sevilla's training session Thursday.
It's not clear how Tecatito got injured, but things looked ugly when the 29-year-old had to leave the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on a stretcher and then go to a local hospital in an ambulance.
ÚLTIMA HORA
El Tecatito Corona se ha marchado en camilla y en ambulancia del entrenamiento del Sevilla FC.
Todavía quedan un par de meses para que Gerardo Martino entregue la convocatoria de los 26 jugadores que México tendrá en el Mundial de Catar 2022. Sin embargo, hoy se dio una pista de como se viene la mano al revelarse la lista de 18 futbolistas del Tri que aparecerán en el álbum del torneo creado por Panini.
Y no, Chicharito no pasó el corte.
The U.S. men’s national team can breathe a sigh of relief after finishing World Cup qualifying in March with just enough points (and goals) to ensure its spot among the 32 teams in Qatar. The team can also take a bit of a break, as there are just two matches remaining on the 2022 USMNT schedule before the start of the 2022 World Cup in November.
As if November couldn’t come fast enough as the U.S. returns to the men’s World Cup for the first time in eight years, now fans have two more things to look forward to this fall: a pair of USMNT docuseries.
A few days after Prime Video announced a series detailing the USMNT’s rivalry with Mexico, Deadline reported the existence of another USMNT docuseries in the works ahead of the 2022 World Cup, which kicks off in November.
We’ve been waiting for the 2022 USMNT World Cup jersey reveal since the U.S. qualified for Qatar 2022 back in March. We’ve seen a variety of supposed leaks and rumors of kits, and The18 even created our own concept uniforms. Yet we still wait for Nike to unveil the uniforms the USMNT will wear at its first World Cup appearance since 2014.
Durante la transmisión del clásico tapatío entre Chivas y Atlas, la cadena Telemundo anunció la lista de comentaristas que tendrá durante el desarrollo del Mundial de Catar 2022.
La compañía – y su servicio de pago Universo – tiene los derechos exclusivos de emisión para audiencias en español dentro de los Estados Unidos, mientras que Fox lo hará en inglés.
The USMNT World Cup kits should be revealed in the near future, but as of now Nike is making us Americans anxiously wait to see the final result. Several “leaks” have been put out on the internet, with each one only adding to dread.

A estas alturas de la vida todos sabemos que las posibilidades de que Javier Hernández represente a México en el Mundial de Catar son practicamente nulas, que Tata Martino no lo quiere en su escuadra. El memo, sin embargo, parece no haber llegado a la FIFA, que con un simple tuit volvió a echarle gasolina a las discusiones en torno a la ausencia de Chicharito en el Tri.
The World Cup in Qatar will kick off a day earlier than scheduled if FIFA's ruling bureau agrees to a plan to hold the opening ceremony and the host nation's first match on Sunday, Nov. 20, a source close to the discussions told Reuters.
The original plan was for the opening ceremony to be held before Qatar's game on Nov. 21 against Ecuador — which created the unusual situation of two matches being held before the ceremony.
Normally the ceremony is conducted before the kickoff of the first game of the tournament.
