It's 100 days to the 2022 World Cup!

The competition will kick off a day earlier than planned after FIFA, on Thursday, agreed to hold the opening ceremony and the host nation's first match on Sunday, November 20, instead of a day later.

The global showpiece, therefore is 100 days away today, Friday.

'100 Days to Qatar' is the JoySports team's way of marking the milestone. It will be a packed show that airs across all Joy platforms on Saturday, August 13.

Gary Al-Smith, who has already been to the Gulf nation twice this year, brings viewers and listeners exclusive footage and information to keep them hooked.

The show is to give the audience key information they need to know ahead of the tournament, ranging from the stadia to be used, to the preparations of the host nation, the state of the Black Stars and African teams and a host of other interesting details you need as the build-up enters the business end.

'100 Days to Qatar' will simulcast live on Joy News TV, Joy Prime TV and Joy 99.7 FM, from 19:30 GMT to 21:00 GMT.

It will also be streamed on the Facebook pages of JoyNews, JoyPrime, Joy Sports and Joy 99.7 FM.
