world cup fixtures

World Cup fixtures are the scheduled matches of the FIFA World Cup tournament. They are released after the group‑stage draw and list every game’s date, local time, venue, and the two national teams playing. The tournament begins with 48 teams divided into eight groups (A‑H); each team plays three group matches. The top two from each group advance to the knockout stage (Round of 16, quarter‑finals, semi‑finals, third‑place play‑off, and final). Official fixture lists are published on FIFA’s website and in the tournament’s official guide, and they are also shown on broadcasters’ schedules and sports news sites. Views Nigeria
