Who will win the FIFA 2022 World Cup? Since Uruguay won the first ever edition of the FIFA World Cup on home soil in 1930, only seven other nations have lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy as World Cup winners in 21 editions of the tournament.
While the usual suspects are likely to be the main contenders in Qatar once again, there’s two European neighbours who loom as a dark horses to add their name to arguably the most prestigious list in world sport.
Here are our top contenders to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup:
Brazil
The Seleção are favourites with most bookmakers and arguably the most talented team in the tournament on paper. The players in their likely starting XI all ply their trade at the world’s biggest football clubs, so it’s unlikely they will be overawed by the big stage.
They boast an embarrassment of riches in the attacking third, with captain Neymar, Real Madrid rising star Vinicius Jr., Barcelona forward Raphinha and Tottenham striker Richarlison all capable of creating goals and finding the back of the net themselves.
Their central defensive pairing of Thiago Silva and Marquinhos, along with goalkeeper Alisson provide security at the back, while overall team chemistry shouldn’t be a problem, after an undefeated qualifying campaign.
