The World Cup draw in full as England and Scotland’s opponents revealed ...Middle East

News by : (inews) -

England will begin their World Cup campaign with a rematch of their 2018 semi-final defeat against Croatia.

Thomas Tuchel’s men also face Panama, who they beat 6-1 in that tournament seven years ago, and Ghana.

Meanwhile, in their first World Cup since 1998, Scotland will face five times champions Brazil, as well as Morocco and Haiti.

Next summer’s tournament, hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, will be the first to feature 48 teams, with a round of 32 also introduced for the first time.

The draw was held at a glitzy, two-hour show in Washington DC, hosted by Fifa president Gianni Infantino and featuring special guests Donald Trump, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney.

With former England defender Rio Ferdinand overseeing the draw itself, North American sporting legends Wayne Gretzky, Tom Brady, Shaquille O’Neal and Aaron Judge placed the teams into their 12 groups.

None of those teams will know until Saturday the order they will face their opponents in, or the location or kick-off time for any match. Fifa will instead reveal the match schedule at 5pm UK time on 6 December.
