England will take on USA, Iran and one of Scotland, Wales or Ukraine in the first Qatar World Cup matches
Britain's teams found out who they will need to overcome in the tournament's group stage if they want to progress this November in Qatar.But in the final slot of the group, they will have to play one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine, depending on who qualifies for the tournament.
England will be hoping to build on their recent showings in recent international tournaments, having finished runners-up in Euro 2020 and semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup. Wales have also enjoyed some success in recent years, making it all the way to the semi-finals in 2016. The glitzy draw event in Doha, the capital of Qatar, included football legends Lothar Matthaus and Cafu.The choice of host continues to raise concerns given the country's lack of footballing history, deaths caused during the construction of World Cup stadiums, human rights abuses and the weather conditions players would have to compete in.
A security source in Qatar told the Associated Press that authorities could seize pro-LGBT flags fans want to use in the country during the tournament, claiming it would be to stop them from being attacked.
