Spain to face Germany in World Cup
Germany and Spain will do battle in Group E at the World Cup in Qatar this year, while host nation Qatar was given a difficult draw.
Spain will face Germany in the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, while host nation Qatar will come up against Netherlands and Senegal.
Three teams are still to be determined, with two inter-confederation play-offs and a European play-off to be staged in June – potentially meaning an all-British affair for England, which will open its campaign against United States.
For the second World Cup in a row, France - the reigning champion - faces Denmark in Group D, along with Tunisia and one of Peru, United Arab Emirates or Australia. Brazil should be confident of progressing from Group G, while Belgium, Portugal and Argentina, similarly, should have the quality to make it through.
Below is the full group-stage draw, with kick-off times and venues for each fixture yet to be confirmed.
