Nearly 12 years after the Quatar was controversially awarded the tournament, the opening game of the 2022 World Cup will be played in the Middle East for the first time ever.
Since then, Qatar has made significant investments in the sport, improving the nation's infrastructure and creating a national team capable of representing the country honorably on the grandest stage.
Ecuador, meanwhile, is led by Enner Valencia, a former West Ham player, and is supported by three Brighton players. They are undoubtedly the least discussed side in their group, but perhaps that will work to their advantage.
Both teams enter this matchup with little injury concerns. The greatest omission for the hosts is Abdullah Al-Ahrak, who hasn't been selected for Qatar's team.
Ayrton Preciado and Robert Arboleda had both been carrying injuries for Ecuador leading up to this match. Although neither player is a lock to start for the Ecuadorian team, they both ought to be considered for the starting lineup.
