Dear Colleague, December was another great month for all the sports enthusiasts, especially for soccer fans with the 2022 Qatar Soccer World Cup gathering more than 760,000 fans in Qatar. Argentina became the fourth most successful nation in FIFA Men's World Cup history after winning the tournament for a third time against France at the penalty shoot-outs. Of note, Argentina also lifted the trophy in 1978 and 1986. Only Brazil (5), Germany (4) and Italy (4) have won more World Cups than Argentina. The 2026 World Cup, which will be played across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, may be the tournament’s largest edition to date, potentially expanding from 32 to 48 teams, and could host as many 104 matches.
