The 22nd edition will be hosted by Qatar and will start on November 20, with the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador on Sunday 20th.

The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA, the world governing body of football, implemented the idea and decided to hold an international men’s football tournament under the tenure of FIFA President Jules Rimet. The inaugural edition held in 1930 was contested as a final by only thirteen teams invited by the organizers. Since then, the World Cup has undergone expansions and changes, with the current 32 teams participating in a two-year qualification process before the final World Cup, with over 200 teams from around the world participating in these qualifying tournaments. This year the World Cup will be held for the 22nd time and the World Cup will be hosted by Qatar.

FIFA has announced the total prize money fund for the 2022 World Cup with a massive increase of 29%, taking the total to $1 billion. Of that, $440 million will be distributed among the 32 teams depending on how the World Cup ends. The remaining $660 million will be distributed to the least developed federations.

The distribution among the 32 groups is as follows

Participation Fee (for all 32 qualified teams) $2.5 million (each)
Group Stage (16 teams which get eliminated) $8 million (each)
Round of 16 (8 eliminated teams) $12 million (each)
Quarterfinals (4 eliminated teams) $16 million (each)
Fourth place $22 million
Third Place $26 million
Runners-up $32 million
Champions $45 million

Virat Kohli half-century and bowlers help RCB retain IPL title

Published

By

Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defended their IPL crown with a composed five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final, powered by a masterful unbeaten 75 from Virat Kohli and a disciplined bowling performance.

After being asked to bat first, Gujarat Titans struggled to build momentum against a relentless RCB attack and were restricted to 155 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs.

The Titans lost both openers early as Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill inside the first four overs. Nishant Sindhu briefly resisted with 20, but wickets fell at regular intervals as RCB tightened their grip on the contest.

Washington Sundar stood firm amid the collapse, producing a fighting unbeaten 50 off 37 deliveries that featured five boundaries. However, he received little support from the middle order. Rasikh Salam emerged as the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 3 for 27, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood claimed two wickets apiece. Krunal Pandya also chipped in with a crucial scalp as Gujarat finished below a par total.

In reply, RCB got off to a flying start through Venkatesh Iyer, who blasted 32 from just 16 balls. Although the defending champions lost a few quick wickets in the middle overs, Kohli anchored the chase with another vintage innings under pressure.

The veteran star struck nine fours and three sixes in his unbeaten 75 off 42 balls, controlling the innings with a blend of aggression and composure. Rajat Patidar contributed 15, while Tim David added a valuable 24 before falling with the target in sight.

Kohli then guided RCB home alongside wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma, who remained unbeaten on 11, as Bengaluru reached 161 for 5 in just 18 overs.

The victory secured back-to-back IPL titles for RCB and once again highlighted Kohli’s enduring class on the biggest stage.

Brief Scores:
Gujarat Titans 155/8 in 20 overs (Washington Sundar 50; Rasikh Salam 3/27, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/29, Josh Hazlewood 2/37) lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru 161/5 in 18 overs (Virat Kohli 75, Venkatesh Iyer 32, Tim David 24; Rashid Khan 2/25) by five wickets.

The Indian side impressed with their discipline and consistency throughout the tournament and deservedly lifted the championship trophy after remaining unbeaten.
