For example, the FIFA World Cup 2022 started in Qatar’s Al Bayt Stadium on November 21, 2022 – a first for the Middle East and a tournament that packed excitement into every match.

Fans of the MLS are buzzing about how their league stacks up against European powerhouses. While European clubs still have deeper pockets and longer histories, MLS is closing the gap fast, attracting global talent and expanding stadiums. It’s a rivalry that’s getting more interesting each season.
