‘Time traveller’ shares footage from three weeks in the future showing who wins the World Cup

To be fair, they appeared to accurately predict the euros 2020 outcome.

Daisy Phillipson

A self-proclaimed 'time traveller' has shared what they claim to be footage from three weeks in the future showing who wins the World Cup.

Take a look and see what you think:

What with the 2022 World Cup in full swing, football fans across the globe are tuning in and cheering their country on .

As for who wins the title, it's anyone's guess at this point - except for one TikTok user who reckons they already know which team will be bringing it home.

The aptly named World Cup Time Traveller is one of many TikTokers who claim to be from the future and capable of jumping through time.

Unlike their counterparts, however, this one appears to have made a number of correct predictions including Italy's final score in the delayed Euro final last year.

Another clip suggests they accurately predicted England's 4-0 victory against Ukraine in same competition.

It's safe to say his insights have been met with scepticism, with some wondering whether they make a number of videos with different scores and keep them on private until the actual results come out.

But if this is the case, the TikToker can't back out of their World Cup prediction as they've published it well ahead of the final.

Their clip suggests Brazil wins the title, showing footballers and fans from the South American country celebrating the massive win.

Alongside the footage, they wrote: "Brazil just beat France in the 2022 World Cup final."

"I'm a time traveller," they added, telling their followers that they're 'helping' them out 'like last year'.

Whether or not their prediction comes true is yet to be seen, but once again the TikTok community is divided.

A number of people aren't convinced, with a few pointing out that the so-called footage from the future appears to be from the Richarlison celebration goal.

Others joked that the only source they trust is The Simpsons .

Some, however, were quick to point out the 'time traveller's' winning predictions.

"He got it right on Euro 2020 btw," said one, while another wrote: "Imagine if he gets it right again."

A third added: "If those two actually playing in finals... I'm putting my life savings on Brazil."

With a few weeks to go until the grand finale, guess all we can do now is wait.

Until then, as tempting as it might be, it's probably not a good idea to bet your life savings on Brazil winning - just in case.

Qatar world cup: 'time traveller' reveals the final & tournament winner.

Qatar World Cup outcome revealed as 'time traveller' shares 'footage' of the final...

The World Cup is in full flow as we enter the final round of group stage fixtures, with it being make or break for most nations if they are to have any success in the tournament in Qatar.

However, we may as well stop now as a time traveller has been to the future and seen the final, or so they claim, posting the video to TikTok which shows the scoreline and goalscorers of the biggest football match on earth.

I’m sorry England fans, but it’ll be another four years at least till it comes home, with Gareth Southgate’s men not making the final, as two other powerhouses are there instead. Both Brazil and France are the lucky nations that get to compete in the biggest game in world football, should this ‘time traveller’ not be pulling our legs, surely that wouldn’t happen?!

World Cup final 2022: Brazil vs France

That’s right, the final a week before Christmas Day will see two of the biggest footballing nations in the world will be fighting it out for that coveted trophy, with Brazil looking for a historic sixth crown. On the other hand, the French would be looking to make it a hat-trick of titles, becoming back-to-back champions of the world in the process.

Many are playing it safe and predicting one of these sides to be the champion, which is understandable when you look at the quality in depth they both have, who would be favourites? Well it’d be a toss of a coin.

If you’re claiming to be a time traveller, then picking out a France vs Brazil final isn’t a major shock, nor is it difficult to pose as, however, the result, scorers and times have also been ‘revealed’.

Brazil will open the scoring in the final through an unlikely source as Marquinhos puts his nation ahead after 24 minutes, but their lead is wiped out instantly after the break, with a magical team talk seeing Antoine Griezmann level things up in the 46th minute.

Then, with just seven minutes remaining, Richarlison finds the back of the net to send the Brazilians into delirium, with successive titles not on the agenda for the European side.

What a dramatic final that would be, although we’d love the drama of extra-time and potentially penalties, although we won’t be getting that this year, according to the so-called time traveller.

A TikTok user, who insists they are a 'time traveller', has shared what they say is footage of the end of the 2022 World Cup final. The clip appears to show the scenes at full time after Brazil have beaten France 2-1 to claim the trophy.

The poster, known by the username @worldcuptimetraveller (formerly @nsh.official), previously shared a clip in 2021 showing Italy beating England 2-1 in the delayed Euro 2020 final, The Daily Star reports . Weeks later, that is exactly what happened as English hearts were broken at Wembley.

The TikToker has now claimed that the Qatar World Cup 2022 final, which will take place on December 18, will be contested between Brazil and France. In the short video, Brazil fans are shown cheering and France players can be seen looking unhappy, as a graphic on the screen shows that the winning goal was scored by Tottenham forward Richarlison in the 83rd minute.

In the video, the TikTok user says: "Brazil just beat France at the 2022 World Cup final. I'm a time traveller." Some viewers were utterly convinced by the video, but others were more sceptical. @Ftbl.noah7 wrote: "Imagine if he gets it right again." @Codybailey905 quipped: "Funny way of spelling England." And @Klajd.karaj123 commented: "Why does it look so… real?"

But @Aron_tariq said: " bro used the celebration clip of richys goal yesterday," claiming that some of the footage came from the match between Brazil and Serbia on November 24. The self-proclaimed time traveller said they were " helping you out like last year" in reference to the video they made for the Euro 2020 final.

The TikTok user had also shared a clip of England beating Ukraine 4-0 in the quarter final of the Euros, which later came true.

Time traveller posts World Cup final result in social media upload

A social media user alleging to be from the future has posted the end result of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final.

A TikTok user claiming to be a time traveller has shared a bizarre clip purportedly showing the final of the World Cup, including the teams and score.

TikTok user @worldcuptimetraveller has been sharing television footage of full-time scenes of matches which they claim to have taken in the future, The Sun reports.

Back in 2021 the mysterious poster, formerly known as @nsh.official, posted a prediction of the final score in the delayed Euro 2020 tournament.

They shared a clip showing Italy winning the final 2-1. Italy and England were locked up at 1-1 at the end of full time before Italy went on to win in penalties.

Now, the same user has sensationally claimed that they know who will be in the final of this year’s World Cup, and what the score will be.

Sharing footage which they claimed was taken three weeks in the future at the World Cup final, they claimed that Brazil will beat France 2-1.

The clip, shared with their 53k followers, shows Brazilian players and fans celebrating, while a dejected Olivier Giroud bows his head.

On the screen is the scoreline Brazil 2 – France 1, with the official-looking World Cup screen graphics.

@worldcuptimetraveller helping you out like last year #worldcup #wm #wc #wc2022 #qatar #qatar2022 #football #timetravel #timetraveler #brazil #france ♬ Back in Time x Hung Up - worldcup time traveller

The screen even shows the apparent goalscorers in the World Cup final, leaving the self-proclaimed time traveller with very little wiggle room.

According to the clip, the Brazil scorers will be Marquinhos and Richarlison, with Griezmann scoring for the French.

In the short video, which has garnered almost 2 million likes, the TikTok user said: “Brazil just beat France at the 2022 World Cup final. I’m a time traveller.”

The user added in the caption that they were “helping you out like last year” in reference to a video they made for the Euro 2020 final.

Many were impressed with the “time traveller’s” editing skills, even if they were more doubtful about their claims.

“Why does it look so … real,” one user said.

“Imagine if he gets it right again,” another added.

But others were quick to point out that the clip of Brazilian fans celebrating was actually taken from Richarlison’s goal in their opening World Cup match against Serbia.

While another pointed out that Giroud’s France kit appears to have only one star above the badge, meaning that it must be from before the 2018 World Cup final, where France won the competition for the second time.

The TikTok user, as well as claiming to have seen the final result coming also shared a clip of England thrashing Ukraine 4-0 in the quarter-final before the match even kicked off.

However, one TikTok user pointed out that the seemingly unnerving accuracy of the time traveller’s predictions isn’t all it seems.

Although they do seem to have got some scores correct, they have also reportedly deleted a number of predictions that didn’t come true.

TikTok 'Time traveller' reveals how much he made from fake World Cup video

It’s never classy when someone refuses to back down after being proved wrong, especially when this happens before an audience of millions of people.

And yet, a man claiming to be a “time traveller” who posted footage of “the 2022 World Cup final” won’t remove the clip, even though it’s been proven to be blatantly false.

The TikTok creator’s video purported to show Brazil beating France to win the football tournament, but we now know that’s impossible since the South American side has already been knocked out .

Understandably, in light of the team’s shock quarter-final defeat to Croatia, fellow TikTokers urged the user, known as World Cup Time Traveller, to take down his misleading post. But he refused, stating unabashedly that he’d earnt money off the back of it and so it was staying firmly put.

The clip has been viewed a staggering 32 million times and racked up more than 2.8 million likes and 26,800 comments since it was posted on 25 November.

We know that success on social media can come with financial rewards, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that he’s cashed in on his viral hit.

Still, the amount he’s pocketed is not quite in the realms of Charli d’Amelio territory. Responding to a commentator, he revealed: “I made +500€ (around £430) with this video,” adding: “I won't delete it.”

And anyone who thinks World Cup Time Traveller will hang up his hat after his public shaming clearly doesn’t understand TikTok very well.

This guy clearly means business and, to be fair, he has enjoyed wins in the past.

He correctly announced that Italy would win the final of the Euros and called England's 4-0 win over Ukraine last summer too.

Even so, we certainly won't be betting any of our own hard-earned cash on his tip-offs any time soon.

‘Time traveler’ claims to know who will win the World Cup 2022

His second book, Silencios al sur , was published in early 2017, and his work has partially been translated into Dutch and French. Mauricio Ruiz can be followed on Twitter and Instagram .

A Tik Tok user nicknamed the “Time Traveler” has caused a stir on social media when the user uploaded a video revealing who would win the Qatar 2022 World Cup . The account has more than 54,000 followers on the platform. The first video posted on the profile was in June 2021.

The mysterious poster, known under the username @worldcuptimetraveller (formerly @nsh.official), has been sharing television footage of full-time scenes of matches which they claim to have filmed in the future.

“Time Traveler” announced the final result, as well as the players who would score the goals during the final match at the Lusail stadium on December 18th

According to the Tik Tok user, the two finalist teams will be France and Brazil, with the latter winning 2 to 1. The victory would give the “verde amarelha” team the longed-for sixth World Cup. The scoreboard would open with a goal by Antoine Griezmann followed by a goal by Marquinhos, who would tie the match 1-1. Richarlison would later give the victory to Brazil.

The “Time Traveler” uploaded videos where Brazil is seen celebrating its victory and the French team laments the results of the World Cup final. Many Internet users question whether they are real, and how the ‘Time Traveler’ produced those videos. One user wrote that the clip of Richarlison celebrating was from the team’s match against Serbia on November 24th.

These are Qatar’s 8 stadiums for FIFA World Cup 2022

Football fans around the world will have to wait until December 18th to know whether the prediction was accurate or not

The same Tik Tok user’s videos went viral in 2020, when the account was allegedly able to guess that the finalists of Euro 2022 would be England vs. Italy.

'I'm a time traveller and I know if England will win the World Cup after 56 years'

One self-proclaimed time-traveller claimed to have footage of England winning this winter's World Cup - but not everyone was convinced

• 11:14, 1 Dec 2022
• Updated 11:20, 1 Dec 2022

A self-proclaimed time traveller has claimed to know who wins this winter's World Cup - and even shared a clip of the yet-to-happen event.

Posting on TikTok , one person claimed they had travelled in time from the future and alleged they had ‘proof’ of England winning the World Cup final.

They said ‘it’s coming home’ as they posted a video they claimed was proof of England beating Portugal in the final.

Without sharing too many details, they shared a video with a caption that read: "I'm a time traveller, England just beat Portugal in the World Cup final!!"

As the clip begins, a commentator can be heard saying “... are the champions of the world” before it shows the scores.

Captain Harry Kane , it claims, will score in the first half before Mason Mount would clinch the victory in the 84th minute.

The 2-0 score appeared on the TV screen before it cut to celebrating Three Lions fans inside a stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo can then be seen walking away in disappointment and Portugal boss Fernando Santos threw his hands in the air.

The video continues to the River Thames showing a celebratory firework display as well as the London Eye.

The last time England won the World Cup was in 1966.

However, not everyone was convinced and when the draw is looked at, Portugal and England would meet in the semi-final, not final, if both teams progressed as far as they could.

Some fans mentioned crazy predictions that other alleged time travellers had made as well.

One said: "That's funny, some other time traveller said Brazil beat France 2-1 earlier”.

A second commented: "I see on yesterday saying England beat Brazil 1-0 in the final. A few time travellers out there aye."

A third referred to another source - the Simpsons - and said: "Nope, Simpsons said Portugal vs Mexico I think. Either way I love England but nah, we ain't winning."

Others were just impressed with the TikTokers slick editing skills combining different clips, but some recognised the origin of some of the videos too.

One commenter said: "Bro used audio from 2018 World Cup final France was the winner. If you focus, you could hear -nce."

Brazil and France in World Cup 2022

France is the defending champion this year, having won the World Cup in 2018 . Previously it has been the world champion in 1998. Brazil is also a previous World Cup champion, having won the tournament on 5 occasions : 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.

This year, France was the first country to be qualified for the round of 16, also called the knockout stage of the World Cup. It did so after beating Australia 4-1 and Denmark 2-1.

Brazil saw a 2-0 win over Serbia and managed a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in the group stages, also sealing its place in the next leg of the tournament.

Whether the TikToker’s prediction comes true or not, football fans can expect to view some epic matches ahead.

'Time traveller's' World Cup prediction is still on and it doesn't bode well for England

A fan calling themselves the 'world cup time traveller' has been sharing footage over on tiktok..

Josh Lawless

The prediction of a TikTok user calling themselves 'the World Cup time traveller' is still on and it doesn't bode well for England.

Last month, @worldcuptimetraveller on TikTok shared television footage from three weeks in advance showing Brazil lifting a sixth World Cup.

Tite's side have been breathtaking in the Qatar showpiece and smashed South Korea 4-1 in their round of 16 clash on Monday.

Brazil will take on Croatia in the quarter-finals but as per the 'time traveller', the Selecao will go all the way and defeat holders Fance in the final.

The video, which has garnered over 30 million views, was captioned: “Brazil just beat France at the 2022 World Cup final. I'm a time traveller. Helping you out like last year.”

It featured footage of Brazil players celebrating while France's veteran striker Olivier Giroud cut a dejected figure.

According to the scoreline graphic we've seen used for all coverage, Richarlison and Marquinhos were on target, while Antoine Griezmann netted France's goal at the Lusail Stadium.

However, it should be noted that there is some doubt hanging over the world famous time traveller given the celebrations footage used is from Richarlison's first goal against Serbia.

There is still the potential for a Brazil vs France final because of the way the bracket is shaped up. Brazil will play the winner of Netherlands vs Argentina in the semi-final if they get past Croatia, while France will play Portugal should they best England in a first meeting since 2017 .

If both win those clashes, then the stage will be set.

The time traveller did correctly predict that I taly would beat England in the Euro 2020 final - though they had said it would be 2-1 to the Azzurri and not a penalty shoot-out triumph.

Another individual believing they have channelled their inner Marty McFly claimed football will come home with England beating Portugal 2-0 in the World Cup final , though that isn't possible as they would have to meet in the semis.

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

When is the World Cup 2022?

So, when exactly does the World Cup start? The 2022 World Cup will begin with an opening ceremony scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. local time, (9 a.m. EST) Sunday, November 20, followed by the starting match between host country Qatar and Ecuador kicking off at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. EST) on Sunday, November 20. There will be a total of 64 games played over five rounds: The group stage, a round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. The group stage matches will play out until Friday, December 2, then the round of 16 games will run from December 3 to December 6. The quarter-finals will take place on December 9 and December 10, and the semi-finals will consist of two matches—one on December 13, and one on December 14. The final match and closing ceremony will both take place on Sunday, December 18, with the last game starting at 6 p.m. local time (10 a.m. EST).

Where is the World Cup 2022? 

The 2022 World Cup is hosted by Qatar. The matches are going to be held between eight venues in the capital city of Doha , and the surrounding cities of Lusail, Al Khor, Al Rayyan, and Al Wakrah. Each of the Qatar World Cup stadiums completed construction in the past two years explicitly for the games, with the exception of the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, which was build in 1976.

The opening ceremony will take place at the 60,000-seat Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, just outside of Doha, and the closing ceremony will be held at the 80,000-capacity Lusail stadium, also near Doha. 

Who is performing at the opening ceremony?

More than wanting to know when and where the opening ceremony will take place, the Internet is buzzing with an even bigger question: Who will perform at the World Cup opening ceremony? Ahead of official announcements from FIFA, K-Pop sensation BTS confirmed that Jung Kook, one of the band's seven members, will be performing at the ceremony. 

CBS Sports report that Lil Baby, who recorded a song titled “The World Is Yours to Take” for the 2022 World Cup soundtrack, will also be performing. The Telegraph has reported that Canadian actress Nora Fatehi is expected to sing the tournament's official song at the opening ceremony. Dua Lipa, The Cure, and Rod Stewart have all confirmed via their individual Twitter accounts that they are not performing. There's also online gossip of a Shakira performance—she recorded the World Cup 2010 theme song—though that has been chased by reports in Spanish media that she has since backed out. 

Other performances expected to take place during the Cup, according to the Telegraph, are concerts at the Doha Golf Club by British singer Robbie Williams (on December 8), the Black Eyed Peas performance (on November 20), and J Balvin  (on November 24). 

Who qualified for the World Cup?

There's always a lot of talk—and national pride—as we find out who qualified for the World Cup. There are 32 World Cup qualified teams representing every division: Africa (CAF), Asia (AFC), Europe (UEFA), North/Central America & Caribbean (CONCACAF), Oceania (OFC), and South America (CONMEBOL). FIFA has grouped the qualified teams into eight draws (for the sports laymen, that means the teams in each draw, or group, will face off against each other first):

Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands Group B: England, Iran, United States, Wales Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland Group D: France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea

Who is the favorite to win the world cup 2022 in Qatar?

Brazil, who has won the most World Cups with five trophies, is the favorite to win the 2022 World Cup, according to the latest polls by Bet365 . They are followed by Argentina , France, England, and Spain.

What are the chances of the United States winning the World Cup 2022?

We are the underdog.

Odds are very low that the U.S. wins the 2022 World Cup, according to Draft Kings . While there is always hope, the teams that the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) is up against in group B are in much better standing. The USMNT is slightly favored to make it past the first group stage, though England is the rightful favorite to win the group. 

Where can I watch the World Cup?

The World Cup 2022 will be available live on FOX Sports and FS1 in the United States—available in English, as well as in Spanish on Telemundo. Both of these channels are available to stream on major platforms like Peacock TV , Hulu , YouTube TV , and Sling , among others.  

Where can I stream the World Cup 2022 for free?

The ad-supported streaming platform Tubi will broadcast all World Cup matches free of charge. There's a catch though, the matches will only be available as a replay, on-demand.  

(As you probably know, the streaming services above offer free trials—many of one month—which would make watching the 2022 World Cup free during the trial period.)

When is the next World Cup?

The FIFA Women's World Cup is taking place next year in Australia and New Zealand , from July 20, 2023 to August 20, 2023. There's still time to plan a memorable trip to watch the U.S. women's team compete—a team that is actually likely to take home the win, yet again. 

The next men's World Cup will be in 2026. For the first time ever, there will be three host countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Host cities will be Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Toronto and Vancouver. Tickets haven't gone on sale yet, but keep an eye on this page for details.

The Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar, will host a number of World Cup 2022 games.

Traveling to the World Cup 2022?

Flights to qatar.

Most Qatar flights are offered on Doha's own, Qatar Airways . The airline partners with Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, JetBlue, and more. Of the four Qatar airports, only one is international: Doha's Hamad International Airport (DOH). Non-stop flights to Doha take 12 hours and 35 minutes from New York City , 15 hours and 40 minutes from Los Angeles , and 6 hours and 35 from London . 

What to do in Qatar

All international travelers heading into Qatar will need to fly via Doha, and that's a good thing—the city has rich offerings when it comes to fantastic hotels, world class restaurants, and cultural draws. There has been a ton of activity on the museum front, for starters: the Jean Nouvel-designed National Museum of Qatar opened in 2019, the very on-theme Olympic Museum opened this April ahead of the Cup, and the latest, the Museum of Islamic Art—credited with establishing Doha as a creative hub—reopened this October in a five-story limestone building designed by I.M. Pei. 

When you've finished working your way through the above, make a point to shop at Souq Waqif, a century-old shopping landmark, or earmark a day for a desert safari to get you out of the city. Read more about the best things to do in Doha in our just-updated guide, below. 

Qatar hotels

As with most major global sporting events, the host country prepares for years to show off the best of their nation. That usually means improving infrastructure, building top-of-the-line sports arenas, and, yes, investing in luxurious, world-class accommodations. Given that this is the biggest event ever hosted by Qatar, U.S. heavy-hitters and international brands went all in. 

While new properties like the Banyan Tree Doha and Zulal Wellness Resort are making big splashes, the grande dame in the city has long been the St. Regis Qatar . Known for housing some of the best restaurants in the urban center, like Chef Ho Yiek Chung's contemporary Chinese spot Hakkasan, the Marriott property is an ideal choice. If you want to stay closer to the Lusail Stadium, where the final—and biggest—matches will take place, the U-shaped architectural feat of the Katara Towers (one side is Raffles Doha , the other Fairmont Doha ) is opening right in time for the action. Or, check into the expansive Waldorf Astoria Lusail Doha set to open in October 2023. 

Get the full rundown on the best hotels in Doha through our new guide, where we cover wellness resorts, historic guesthouses, and much more. 

Qatar restaurants

If you were planning on just grabbing a quick bite at the hotel between matches, think again. The food scene in Doha has undergone somewhat of a renaissance as of late (not unrelated to that aforementioned investment poured into every corner of the hospitality sector ahead of the Cup). Expect to find local flavors like spiced karak tea and machboos (reminiscent of biryani) in the form of Qatari street food, and elevated dishes at restaurants like Jiwan by Alain Ducasse, which serves Qatari dishes with French flair (think desserts that combine strawberry and labneh, for example). There are of course more international flavors, such as Syrian food at Damasca One , and Sri Lankan at contemporary Nourlaya . And if it is great hotel dining you're after? Make a beeline for Jean-George Vongerichten’s South American Curiosa in the Four Seasons hotel on West Bay, or Gaston Acurio's ceviche haven La Mar at the InterContinental . 

Get more tips on the best restaurants in Doha, Qatar , through our complete dining guide. 

What are Qatar's travel requirements?

As for the standard Qatar travel requirements, your passport will need to be valid at least six months after your return date. Though Qatar usually requires a tourist visa upon entry (it costs roughly $27), only travelers with a ticket or approved by someone with a ticket can enter the country around the World Cup 2022, from November 1 to December 22. If you have a World Cup game ticket, or are traveling with a ticket holder, apply for your Hayya Card before traveling—this will function as your visa for entry to the country, and ticket into the World Cup stadiums. (It also grants fee metro and bus access in the country.) Travelers without a Hayya Card will not be permitted entry.

Additionally, COVID-19 travel restrictions for U.S. visitors to Qatar have been essentially eliminated—a vaccination certificate is no longer required to enter the country, nor are negative test results. Travelers no longer need to use the Ehteraz health certification app upon arrival, but are required to show it if/when entering public and private healthcare facilities. 

Keep tabs on the most up-to-date Qatar travel requirements and restrictions on the Qatar's website.

What is Qatar's weather like?

In November and December, temperatures are very pleasant at an average of 79 degrees Fahrenheit. While the country gets quite hot in the Summer months (think 106 degrees Fahrenheit), from November to March the weather is warm and perfect for travel.

What is the currency in Qatar?

The Qatari riyal is the official currency in the Middle Eastern country. At the time of publishing, the exchange rate is USD 1 = QAR 3.64. As is always the case when traveling abroad, try to bring at least $50 to $100 per person, per day—you never know when a restaurant isn't going to take your credit card or when an ATM might be hard to find. 

Can you drink in Qatar?

Yes, alcohol is available at licensed restaurants and bars for those over the age of 21. Each stadium will have areas where sports goers can grab a beer or Jack Daniels. Drinking is illegal outside of these licensed spaces (like, in your hotel room).

Fifa World Cup: ‘Time traveller’ reveals who WINS [watch]

Who will win the Fifa World Cup 2022 in Qatar? This TikTok ‘time-traveller’ claims to know after ‘attending’ the final match next month…

A TikTok user claiming to be a “time traveller” has predicted the winner of the 2022 Fifa World Cup in a clip that has gone viral…

The mysterious social media user claimed that they travelled three weeks into the future to attend the final match.

And they even have “footage” of the match.

TIME-TRAVELLER REVEALS WORLD CUP WINNER

In a TikTok video, a user with the handle “@worldcuptimetraveller” shared a clip of whom they claimed would win the Fifa World Cup.

In the clip, the TikToker claimed that Brazil would face off against England in the finals. However, Brazil would win the title after scooping a 2-1 victory.

SKEPTICS SPEAK OUT

Needless to say, skeptics had a hard time believing the news given the illogical nature of the TikToker’s claims.

FIFA World Cup™ match schedule confirmed: hosts Qatar to kick off 2022 tournament at Al Bayt Stadium 

Final confirmed to take place at 80,000-seat Lusail Stadium at 18:00 on 18 December

Four matches a day throughout the group stage ensures optimal rest time for the teams

Qatar’s unique footprint allows later assignment of group matches for the benefit and comfort of fans

The iconic image of FIFA World Cup™ champions France lifting the trophy at Luzhniki Stadium is still fresh in the memory of every football fan. Exactly two years after that historic occasion on 15 July 2018, the unveiling of the match schedule for the next edition invites the football world to dream of a new beginning – one that, now, has a precise time and place to start.

Al Bayt Stadium, a 60,000-capacity arena that takes its name and shape from the traditional tents used by nomadic peoples in the Gulf region, will be the stage for hosts Qatar to kick off the tournament on Monday 21 November 2022 at 13:00 local time* (11:00 CET). The local kick-off times for group matches have been set for 13:00, 16:00, 19:00 and 22:00, with the simultaneous kick-offs for the last round of group games and knockout-stage timings being 18:00 and 22:00. Khalifa International Stadium will be the setting for the play-off for third place on 17 December. The final will kick off one day later at 18:00 at Lusail Stadium in front of an 80,000 crowd.

With the aim of providing all teams with optimal rest between their matches, the group stage will last 12 days and, with four matches per day, it promises a full and exciting schedule for fans. The tournament’s compact nature – with no air travel needed to move between the venues – will allow organisers, for the first time, to optimise specific match demands for the benefit and comfort of fans, teams and media.

This will be achieved through the assignment of the group fixtures for each matchday to a stadium and kick-off time only after the final draw, currently planned for after the March 2022 international match calendar qualifying window. Once the pairings are known, the possibility will be discussed of providing a more beneficial kick-off time for audiences at home, or indeed for fans in Qatar with regard to the stadium allocation.

That additional flexibility is possible without affecting any technical aspects since all stadiums are located within a compact radius and the climate is perfect at that time of year in Qatar, whether it is an early or a late kick-off. On top of that, this will potentially give fans the opportunity to attend more than one match a day during the group stage.

For those eager to book their seats at Qatar 2022, hospitality sales are scheduled to start in late 2020. Ticket sales for the general public will be conducted solely via FIFA.com/tickets, where details on the timeline, phases, categories and prices will be communicated in due course.

In the meantime, detailed information on the FIFA World Cup qualifiers for each confederation is available on FIFA.com. The latest updates in relation to the international match calendar in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic can be found here and here.

*All times mentioned are local. Arabia Standard Time (AST) is UTC/GMT+3 or CET+2. The final capacities of all FIFA World Cup stadiums during the event will be confirmed closer to the tournament.

‘Time Traveller’ Says He Knows Who Will Win The FIFA World Cup 2022, Claims To Have Proof

Every now and then, we come across stories of people time-travelling and finding things in the future that scare us. But it's believed that these are cases of people letting their imaginations run wild.  

'Time traveller' claims to know the winner of FIFA World Cup 2022

Now, a  self-proclaimed ' time traveller ' has shared a  clip purportedly  from three weeks in the future showing who wins the FIFA World Cup.

"I'm a time traveller ," they added, telling their followers that they're 'helping' them out 'like last year'.

Viral video leaves people divided

The video has garnered more than 1.8 million views on TikTok. People were left divided by the clip, as some were convinced by it and others remained cynical. 

"Imagine if he gets it right again," a person said. 

"Why does it look so… real?" a second person said. 

"Bro used the celebration clip of Richy's goal yesterday," a third argued.

"Funny way of spelling England," another user quipped.   

Many, however, were quick to point out that the clip of Brazilian fans celebrating was actually taken from Richarlison’s goal in their opening World Cup match against Serbia.

While another pointed out that Giroud’s France kit appears to have only one star above the badge, meaning that it must be from before the 2018 World Cup final, where France won the competition for the second time.

Both Brazil and France have already qualified for the round of 16 with a game to spare. Defending champions France beat Australia 4-1 in their opening game, following it up with a 2-1 win over Denmark.

On the other hand, Brazil started their campaign with a 2-0 win over Serbia. Last night, the Samba Boys beat Switzerland 1-0 in a hard-fought game to book their place in the knockout stages.

The final of the FIFA World Cup will be held on December 18 at Lusail Stadium.

World Cup 2022: Argentina in Trouble As ‘Time Traveller’ Predicts Tournament’s Winner

• The 'Time Traveller' has predicted that Argentina will not win the World Cup in Qatar
• The same person also correctly predicted England's loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final
• The World Cup started on November 18 and will wrap up with the final on December 18

Argentina's wish of winning this year's World Cup in Qatar hangs in the balance, after a 'Time Traveller' shared the winner of the tournament on TikTok.

La Albiceleste are looking to win back-to-back major tournaments in the Middle East country, having ended a 28-year wait for a major trophy by winning the Copa America last year in Brazil.

Lionel Messi and his teammates will face the Netherlands in a mouthwatering quarter-final clash at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Friday evening, with the winner facing either Brazil or Croatia in the semi-finals.

The Time Traveller's prediction

A user on TikTok, @worldcuptimetraveller , has circulated a television clip which shows who will get their hands on the World Cup trophy.

Exciting feature: Check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ find "Recommended for you" block and enjoy!

In a video posted on TikTok, spotted by Sports Brief , the 'Time Traveller' claims Messi and Argentina have no chance of winning the World Cup. He instead states that Brazil will beat France 2-1 to win this year's Mundial.

He captioned the video: “Brazil just beat France at the 2022 World Cup final. I'm a time traveller. Helping you out like last year.”

In the video, Tottenham forward Richarlison and Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos were the scorers for Brazil, while Antoine Griezmann netted for France.

Doubts over Time Traveller's prediction

However, TikTok users spotted some errors in the world famous time traveller's video. It appears the celebrations footage used is from Richarlison's first goal against Serbia in Brazil's opening match at the World Cup.

MeSlav_pr0 also commented.

"Isnt that the celebration from richarlison goal celebration tho?"

@aron_tariq

"bro used the celebration clip of richys goal yesterday."

Brazil could face France

Brazil could still face France in the World Cup final due to the way the bracket is shaped up.

The Samba Boys will cross swords with either Netherlands or Argentina in the semi-final if they get past Croatia, while France will play Portugal or Morocco should they beat England in the quarters.

How Messi could play Ronaldo

Argentina and Portugal, who are home to two of the greatest players in football history, have been impressive in the tournament so far.

The two teams are already through to the quarter-finals, with Portugal demolishing Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16 to advance, Sports Brief earlier reported.

On their part, Argentina had to overcome a stubborn Australian side to advance, with Messi scoring in that clash.

T20 World Cup: Here is all you need to know about the Indian cricket team's schedule

T he IPL is over, now it is time for the T20 World Cup. The tournament starts on June 1 with USA and Canada facing off. This is the ninth edition of the competition that began in 2007 with India lifting the trophy. England are the defending champions having won in 2022. As many as 20 teams are taking part in this edition.

India under Rohit Sharma are hoping to end their title drought. Their last ICC title was the Champions Trophy in 2013. Also, since winning in 2007, India have not clinched another T20 World Cup. They lost in the final in 2014 and were knocked out in the semis in 2016 and 2022. That is how close they have managed to get.

A team boasting of batters like Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli plus a bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. India have a well-balanced squad which will hope to go the distance this time. At the moment they have to play three games to qualify for the next round from where they will have a shot at the semis.

India are in Group A. They are clubbed with rivals Pakistan, hosts USA, minnows Canada and Ireland who are known to pull off the odd upset. So let’s take a look at which team India play and when:

India’s opening game is against Ireland. It will be Rishabh Pant’s international comeback since his accident in late 2022. The match is on June 5 and will begin at 8 PM IST. This is a midweek game and shall take place on a Wednesday. But the timing is such that most people will be back home from work to tune in.

The much-awaited clash against Pakistan follows after the opening encounter with Ireland. The match is on June 9 and shall start at 8 PM IST. For obvious reasons, this match has been scheduled on a Sunday. That means a majority of the fans will be able to watch it. India have a 6-1 record against Pakistan in the tournament and also beat them to win the first-ever title in 2007. Pakistan won the title in 2009 and lost in the 2022 final to England.

India face hosts USA after their high-voltage clash with Pakistan. The game will be on June 12 which is a Wednesday. This will be the first time these two sides shall face off at international level. As usual, the match will start at 8 PM IST. India are expected to win so nobody expects any major surprises.

India’s last Group A match is against Canada on June 15. By then they will have most probably sealed their place in the next round. The match will be at 8 PM IST once again and it’s a Saturday, so most fans will be relaxing. Barring a major upset, India are expected to win the game easily.

Poland's president seeks release of Polish traveler sentenced to life in Congo

Poland congo.

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s President Andrzej Duda has spoken on the phone with Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi in an effort to obtain the release of a Polish traveler who was sentenced to life in prison in the vast Central African country on espionage charges, an aide said Monday.

The 52-year-old Pole, Mariusz Majewski, was detained by Congolese forces in February and later faced a military court in the restive nation, accused of spying.

The allegations against him said that he had “approached the front line with Mobondo militiamen," moved along the front line without authorization and "took photos of sensitive and strategic places and secretly observed military activities.”

The Mobondo is a militia group that has been involved in intercommunal violence in southwestern Congo since 2022.

Majewski was convicted last week and sentenced to life in prison. No details were released as to where he is held.

Duda's aide, Wojciech Kolarski, did not say what the outcome of the conversation between the two presidents was but stressed that the state had the obligation to take care of its citizens who find themselves in such dramatic situations overseas.

Majewski's family says he is in poor health and insists that he is just a traveler.

Last week, Poland's Foreign Ministry spokesman Pawel Wronski said without elaborating that Majewski “is not a spy, he is a member of a travelers club" and was just following his “passion in life.”

Wronski said it was due to a chain of coincidental circumstances and events that he found himself in Congo and his "behavior was the result of a lack of knowledge of local customs.”

Polish authorities are aware of the “very difficult political situation in Congo" and a recent coup attempt there but expressed hope that Majewski will not be implicated in a situation he has no connection to.

Poland does not have a diplomatic mission in Congo.

Earlier this month, the Congolese army said it had foiled a coup attempt and arrested the perpetrators, including some foreigners. Several U.S. citizens are among those arrested.
