“世界杯”的全名叫“国际足联世界杯”，由国际足球联合会举办，你可能会发现，国际足联的英文缩写并不对应FIFA，这其实是因为国际足联在法国成立，其法语为 Fédération Internationale de Football Association，其英文全称是International Federation of Association Football，国际足球联合会（简称“国际足联”）。
The FIFA World Cup 2022 kicks off on Sunday with a ceremony that precedes the host Qatar and Ecuador's opening Group A match at the Al Bayt Stadium in the city of Al Khor, 50 kilometres (31 miles) outside of Qatar's capital Doha.
Thirty-two teams will play a total of 64 games to decide who will be crowned World Cup champions.
The 32 nations are divided into eight groups of four.
Teams in each group will play each other once. The top two teams will progress to the knockout stages. The winners of Group A play the second-placed team in Group B, and the winners of Group B play the second-placed team in Group A, and so on.

“中国元素如满天繁星”
中国足球队虽然没去，但这届世界杯“含中量”依然满满。
Even without a home team to cheer for, Chinese fans and enterprises remain enthusiastic about the Qatar World Cup.
Support from China has also come in a more concrete way, with most of the tournament's stadiums, its official transportation system and its accommodation facilities featuring contributions from Chinese builders and providers.
11月20日，中国外交部发言人华春莹连发8推，盘点本届世界杯随处可见的“中国元素”。
"The quadrennial soccer carnival is kicking off! Chinese elements are spotted all over the place at Qatar World Cup 2022."“四年一度的足球嘉年华开始了！中国元素在2022卡塔尔世界杯上无处不在。”
The 80,000-seat Lusail Stadium, which is scheduled to host the eye-catching final game, was designed and built by China Railway International Group with advanced energy-saving technologies and sustainable materials.
Doha's first ever Panda House officially opened to the public on Thursday.
Located at Al Khor Park near the Al Bayt Stadium, the Panda House is home to Chinese giant pandas, three-year-old female Si Hai and four-year-old male Jing Jing.
Chinese referee Ma Ning and two assistant referees, Cao Yi and Shi Xiang, have been appointed to judge at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to a list released by FIFA.
From national flags to ornaments and pillows emblazoned with images of the World Cup trophy, products made in Yiwu, China's small commodity hub, have enjoyed nearly 70 percent of the market share of World Cup merchandise, according to the Yiwu Sports Goods Association.
More than 1,500 buses from China's leading bus maker Yutong are plying the streets of Qatar. Some 888 are electric, offering shuttle services for the thousands of officials, journalists and fans of different countries.
Raring to promote their brands overseas, Chinese enterprises, led by four official FIFA sponsors — Wanda Group, Hisense Group, smartphone manufacturer Vivo and dairy brand Mengniu — have provided more sponsorship revenue for the host than companies from any other nation, with nearly $1.4 billion in total investment, according to Global Data, a London-based consulting and analytics company.
