World Cup 2022

Do the winners of the third place playoff get a medal at World Cup 2022?

THE 2022 World Cup in Qatar is coming to an end THIS WEEKEND, with just two games remaining.

It has been quite the tournament so far with Morocco, Croatia, Argentina and France making up the final four.

France came out victorious against Morocco, with Argentina beating Croatia to set up a Kylian Mbappe vs Lionel Messi final.

But first, Croatia take on Morocco to find out who finishes third at the 2022 World Cup.

Many see the third place playoff match at a World Cup as one to avoid as both teams go into the clash bitterly disappointed as they fall at the final hurdle.

Last time out we saw a depleted England side face Belgium in the clash, where Gareth Southgate’s men fell to defeat in Russia.

It looked like the players were already ready to head home as they had no real desire to win the match.

However, with Morocco and Croatia in action this time out, the two sides could be keen to come out victorious and ensure that they do not leave Qatar completely empty handed.

The winners of the clash will be given a bronze medal, an award to show that they finished in third behind Argentina and France.

This will be awarded after the match, with the two finalists receiving silver and gold medals – and the winner taking the prestigious World Cup trophy.

While Morocco have already won the hearts of the world as they became the first African side to reach a World Cup semi-final, they will be keen to add a medal to their collection when they face Croatia this weekend.
