The 2022 FIFA World Cup is approaching fast as the tournament will be hosted by the Arabic nation Qatar from November 20, 2022, to December 18, 2022. The tournament which will be the first-ever FIFA World Cup hosted by the Arabic nation will extend over a period of 29 days wherein a total of 64 matches will be played across 8 different venues in Qatar. Here is some good news for all the football lovers in Nepal, now you can get the 2022 FIFA World Cup Schedule as per Nepal Time.

Nepal is a beautiful landlocked country in South Asia bordering China and India. The country uses a single time zone throughout which is 5 Hours and 45 Minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Nepal uses the Nepal Standard Time (NPT) which is an approximation of Kathmandu meantime which is 5 hours 41 minutes 16 seconds ahead of UTC. One of the Peculiar things about Nepal Standard Time is that it is one of the three-time zones in the world which are offset by 45 minutes as the rest of the time zones are offset by either complete hours or 30 Minutes from the UTC.

The most significant event in the field of football which takes place every four years attracts a number of fans across the world and Nepal are no exception to it. However, as the tournament will be hosted in a different geographical region, it would be difficult to know the tournament schedule for the fans living in Nepal. The matches will kick off as per the Arabia Standard Time (AST) which is three hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) while Nepal Standard Time (NPT) is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of UTC, hence, there is a time difference of two hours and 45 minutes between Nepalese Time and match kick-off time, thus, we converted the timing of all the matches in UTC+5:45 from UTC+3 as per the official match schedule.

The tournament will be played in two parts one being the group stage while the next will be the knockout stage. During the group stage, each team will play 3 matches and on the basis of the performance of the teams during the group stage, the top two teams from each group will be shortlisted for the next stage.
