The World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet, and with the 2022 edition set to take place in Qatar, there is sure to be plenty of intrigue.

So, which teams have been drawn into the Group of Death for Qatar 2022?
Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands
This group is headlined by two traditional powerhouses in Netherland and Senegal. Senegal is led by striker Sadio Mane, who is always a threat to score.

USA and Iran are both strong sides that will provide stiff competition. Wales rounds out the group and is led by Gareth Bale and will likely be fighting for second place.
