What channel is Qatar v Ecuador World Cup match on? Kick off time, TV coverage and live stream details
Check out how to watch Qatar v Ecuador in the World Cup, including TV channel, kick-off time and odds.
All eyes will be on the Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday as the 2022 World Cup gets underway with hosts Qatar facing Ecuador in the tournament opener.
There has been plenty of discussion and debate in the build-up to surely the most controversial World Cup ever but the Qatari players will want to do their own talking on the pitch and will be desperate to avoid becoming just the second host nation to fail to reach the knock out stages (after South Africa).
This Qatar team is 10 years in the making but though this is their first appearance at a World Cup, they do have tournament experience and positive experience at that – they're the reigning Asia Cup champions after beating South Korea in the final of the competition in 2019.
We can expect Felix Sanchez's side to be well-structured and aggressive both in and out of possession but their chances are likely to hinge on the success of dynamic forward duo Akram Afif and Almoez Ali.
On paper, they're the weakest team in Group A but with games against Netherlands and Senegal to come, Sunday's opener against Ecuador looks like their best chance to claim a victory.
That's not to say it will be easy against the South American side, who arrive at the tournament with something of a golden generation of talent and will be desperate to start the campaign with three points themselves.
Manager Gustavo Alfaro leads a squad full of plenty of faces that should be familiar to Premier League fans, including former West Ham United forward Enner Valencia and Brighton trio Moises Caicedo, Jeremy Sarmiento and Pervis Estupinan, but 22-year-old Real Valladolid winger Gonzalo Plata and 20-year-old Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Piero Hincapie are also ones to watch.
