The 2022 World Cup draw is out, with the U.S. to face England, Iran and the European Playoff winner in Group B.
The opening game of the tournament will be between host Qatar and Ecuador to begin the round-robin stage of the World Cup. The first game for the United States, which drew the B3 position in the group, will be on Nov. 21 against the winner of the European playoff.
This year the USMNT will be joined by fellow CONCACAF teams Canada, which is returning to the World Cup for the first time in, and Mexico, making its eighth straight appearance after clinching its berth with a win against El Salvador on Wednesday. Canada opens against Belgium and Mexico's first game will be against Poland.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino made a call for world peace prior to the draw, saying this will be"the best World Cup ever." "Our plea to all the leaders is stop the conflicts and stop the wars," Infantino said."Please engage in dialogue, please engage in peace ... because we want this to be the World Cup of unity, the World Cup of peace."
