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

Nuwan Thushara Set to Miss IPL 2026 After SLC NOC Refusal

Published

on

By

Nuwan Thushara is set to miss the upcoming IPL 2026 season in a significant setback for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) declined to issue him a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

The decision comes following SLC’s latest policy requiring all centrally contracted players to meet strict fitness standards before being cleared for overseas franchise leagues. Thushara reportedly failed to reach the required fitness benchmarks, leading to uncertainty over his participation and eventual exclusion.

RCB had secured the services of the Sri Lankan pacer for approximately INR 1.6 crore, viewing him as a valuable addition to their pace attack. However, his absence could now force the franchise to rethink their squad composition ahead of the tournament.

Interestingly, reports indicate that Thushara is not carrying any injury and remains available to bowl. Despite this, concerns over his overall fitness levels falling short of SLC’s criteria have ultimately ruled him out of the competition.

During his stint with RCB, Thushara featured in just one match, largely serving as a backup option. He made a notable impact in that appearance, returning figures of 1 for 26 with an impressive economy rate of 6.50, showcasing his potential when called upon.

Sri Lanka Show Grit Despite 0–1 Defeat to Nepal

Published

Sri Lanka suffered a narrow 0–1 defeat against Nepal in their second outing of the SAFF U-20 Championship 2026, played in Malé, Maldives on Wednesday. Despite the loss, the young Sri Lankan side delivered a spirited performance and remained firmly in contention for a place in the semi-finals.

Coming into the match, Sri Lanka were high on confidence after scripting history in their opening game with a thrilling 3–2 victory over hosts Maldives. That win marked their first Under-20 triumph against Maldives since 2002, ending a 24-year wait and boosting morale within the squad.

Riding on that momentum, Sri Lanka started positively against Nepal, showing intent and discipline across the pitch. However, the decisive moment came in the 21st minute when Subash Bam found the back of the net to give Nepal the lead.

Sri Lanka responded strongly after conceding, pressing forward in search of an equalizer. Their attacking movements created several promising opportunities, but a combination of missed chances and resolute defending by Nepal denied them a breakthrough.

Luck also seemed to evade the Sri Lankan side, as their efforts in the final third failed to yield results.

Defensively, Sri Lanka remained organized and prevented further damage, keeping the contest alive until the final whistle. Their fighting spirit and determination were evident throughout the match, reflecting the team’s growing confidence and cohesion.

Despite the defeat, Sri Lanka still have a strong chance of progressing to the semi-finals. They currently sit second in the group table with three points, just behind Nepal, and will look to bounce back in their remaining fixtures.
