After a 2020 marked by cancellations due to the coronavirus, the 2021 that we left behind has meant the return of most of the competitions that were suppressed then. By 2022 we hope that the sports calendar will definitively return to normal. Below we present the 2022 sports agenda , where the Winter Olympics and the World Cup stand out above all, changing their usual summer dates for the month of November.
Sports calendar 2022
Sports federations and organizers have been publishing their calendars for 2022 over the last few months, although the threat of the coronavirus means that once again we have to take the 2022 sports calendar with a grain of salt. It seems that the postponements will mark the first weeks of the year, we cross our fingers so that all the events can be held successfully and on the scheduled dates.
With the sports calendar you will not miss any great sporting event this year. The Euroleague Final Four , the tennis Grand Slams, the grand tours and cycling monuments… Events that always bring us interesting sports bets and attract all the media attention.
Two events mark the beginning of the year: the New Year’s ski jumps and the Dakar, which once again will cross the Saudi desert. Without forgetting the final of the darts world championship.
