The FIFA World Cup 2022 has officially begun in Qatar. The game has been riddled with controversies, owing mostly to the Qatar Government’s handling of the event. Anyway, Google, for example, generally releases a mini-doodle or other in-homepage games whenever an international gaming tournament goes live. This time, the company is allowing hooligans to score goals against one another in multiplayer battles with a sweet new mini-game.

Activating and playing this mini-game is as easy as searching for something on Google. The feature has gone live for both the Android and iOS platforms. The VP of Engineering at Google has officially confirmed this on his Twitter handle. In order to play and activate the mini-game, one must search for “World Cup” and then hit the soccer ball at the bottom. So, this is how you can activate the mini-game using Google.

This is an excellent method to increase fan interaction ahead of soccer’s biggest event, and it appears that millions of people have already tried out the game. There are mini-games for every World Cup match, allowing fans from either team to shoot golden goals and increase their team’s count into the millions digitally. Talking about the game, it is technically a single-player game having an MMO element. However, the brand has earlier created some actual multiplayer games like the Petanque, which has 1v1 player, and a 4v4 Halloween based multiplayer.

FIFA, the world soccer governing body, was in damage control mode earlier this month, requesting participating nations to desist from criticising the host nation for their dismal human rights record, and to “now focus on the football.” Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter has also stated that selecting Qatar to host the World Cup was a mistake.
