News Synopsis

The FIFA World Cup 2022 is continuing in Qatar, the destination of the world's largest football show, including international players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Paul Pogba, Neymar Jr., and Harry Kane.

After France claimed itself as the world champions four years ago, the FIFA World Cup trophy is now up for grabs.

With established footballing nations like Brazil, Belgium, Argentina, England, Germany, Portugal, Senegal, South Korea, and many others vying for glory and a new chapter in football history, the stakes are higher than ever.

Brazil is aiming to win a record-extending sixth World Cup at the tournament taking place in Qatar from November 20–December 18. What you need to know about their journey to the final is as described in the following:

Each World Cup group's top two scorers progress to the round of 16. Starting on December 3, the knockout rounds consist of one-off matches that may go to extra and then penalties to determine the winner.

Brazil qualified for the round of 16 by defeating Serbia 2-0 and Switzerland 1-0 in their opening two Group G games.

Despite losing to Cameroon in their final group match, Brazil edged out Switzerland to claim Group G by virtue of goal differential.

Brazil defeated South Korea 4-1 in their Round of 16 matches with scores from Vinicius Jr, Neymar, Richarlison, and Lucas Paqueta.

Brazil, who defeated Japan on penalties to go to the quarterfinals, will face Croatia.

Brazil might play South American rivals Argentina or the Netherlands in the semi-finals if they progress.

Who might Brazil face in the finals?

Brazil may face either the 2018 champions France or the 2016 Euro champions Portugal in the final if they go that far.

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) organized the first cup competition in 1930, which Uruguay won. Since then, the competition has been held every four years, with the exception of World War II. It comprises international sectional tournaments that lead to a final elimination match between 32 national teams. The World Cup competition more closely resembles a match between the top players in the world since, unlike Olympic football, teams are not restricted to players under a specific age or amateur status.
