Originally set to start on Monday, November 21, with Senegal taking on the Netherlands, the competition will instead kick off on Sunday, November 20, with Qatar taking on Ecuador.

The decision, which would have the first game start at 9 p.m. local time, is being seriously considered by FIFA. The news was first reported by the Argentine newspaper Diario Olé.
The action would have no impact on player release dates.
The FIFA Council Bureau must yet accept the agreement, but it is anticipated that they will do so, making the new World Cup dates of November 20 to December 18 effective.
Insidethegames is aware that a feasibility analysis about the suggested date adjustment has been conducted and that it was approved by the four teams whose matches would be shifted.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the heads of the six continental confederations make up the Bureau.
