On Sunday, the 2022 FIFA World Cup's closing ceremony got underway at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar.
According to organizers, the 15-minute event, called "A Night to Remember," will "reflect on the tournament through poetry and music." Live performances of songs from the World Cup's official soundtrack are being made by artists.
The Qatari diva Aisha and the Grammy-winning Nigerian musician Davido are duetting on the song "(Hayya Hayya) Better Together." Gims, a French-Congolese rapper, and award-winning Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Ozuna are presenting "Arhbo," and Nora Fatehi, Balqees, Rahma Riad, and Manal are singing "Light the Sky."
After the musical performance, Argentina and France square off for soccer's highly desired trophy.
It's time for the championship game for Qatar 2022 after 62 games spread over almost a month.
There are several interesting subplots leading up to this tantalizing battle.
Argentina is attempting to win a third championship, while France is the first champion to get to the final in 20 years. The most recent FIFA rankings have La Albiceleste at No. 3 and Les Bleus at No. 4.
Observe these players:
Lionel Messi, 35, has one more opportunity in this game to realize his longtime ambition of leading Argentina to its third global championship.
At Qatar 2022, the enchantment of Messi has enchanted rival teams, including a beautiful pass that led to his team's first goal against the Netherlands on December 9 and a penalty and an assist against Croatia in the semifinal on December 13.
Messi has received excellent support from Alexis MacAllister in midfield and striker Julián lvarez, who scored two of the three goals that helped Argentina defeat Croatia.
With two saves in the quarterfinal penalty shootout against the Netherlands, goalkeeper Emi Martnez won over even more Argentine supporters.
Kylian Mbappé, a teammate of Messi's at Paris Saint-Germain, is getting in the way of France's attempt to win back-to-back World Cup crowns.
Since France appears to have the most complete team of the tournament, Mbappé, who is tied with Messi for the tournament's top scorer, will do all in his power to prevent Argentina from winning.
Much of France's creative energy has come from Antoine Griezmann, who also contributes defensively. The Atletico Madrid player helped France defeat England 2-1 in the quarterfinals by expertly crossing for Olivier Giroud to score France's winning goal.
Similar to Griezmann, the 36-year-old Giroud has had a comeback in this World Cup after going the entire year without scoring a goal.
However, the AC Milan forward became France's all-time leading scorer in the Qatar 2022 World Cup after scoring four goals, one more than Mbappé.
