Full FIFA World Cup Draw Confirmed As USMNT Meet England In Group Stage At Qatar 2022
The USMNT will meet England in the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Iran were also placed into Group B as the World Cup draw for Qatar 2022 was made in Doha on Friday April 1.
The other spot in that group will be filled by either Scotland, Ukraine or Wales.
Scotland and Ukraine are due to meet in Glasgow in June, with the winner taking on Wales in Cardiff a week later for a place in Group B.
The draw was hosted by former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas.
Many viewers were surprised to see Jenas leading the show instead of a more well-known face. But he was supported by some icons of world soccer, including Cafu, Ali Daei, Jay-Jay Okocha and Lothar Matthaus.
Brazil legend Cafu contributed to his nation being drawn alongside Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G.
Tournament hosts Qatar were automatically the first team drawn as they were placed in Group A.
Qatar were joined in Group A by Ecuador, Senegal and Holland.
Due to the order of that group, the first match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be Qatar vs Ecuador on November 21.
