Football's biggest festival--the FIFA World Cup 2022 is slated to take place later this year. The much-awaited World Cup would once again see some of the best nations go up against each other in enthralling encounters, all to get their hands on the coveted title. Some of the big names in the sport, namely Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe among others, would light up the competition with their star-studded performances in Qatar. Surprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal are yet to get a green light for participating in the competition. Portugal could potentially face European champions Italy in the World Cup playoffs and only one of these two teams can eventually make it to the competition.
