We are now at less than 3 months (actually 71) from the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup and so it is appropriate to show the schedule for the first stage of the competition (see below).

Of the 21 World Cups, the trophy was held by just 8 countries (Brazil x5, Germany x4, Italy x4, Argentina x2, Uruguay x2, France x2 and England and Spain once each). As can be seen the trophy was taken to Europe some 12 times and the remaining 9 times was taken to South America.
Will this World Cup see a change - an Asian country take the trophy ?
