Initially, the tournament was scheduled for Monday, 21st November 2022, with Qatar and Ecuador playing the first match while Senegal and Netherlands come face to face in the second group A game.
However, the opening match between hosts, Qatar and Ecuador has been moved to Sunday, 20th November 2022 subject to final confirmation from FIFA.
