The first ever World Cup to be held in the Middle East reaches its finale on Sunday when France and Argentina go head-to-head in Doha.

The French are looking to keep their hands on the trophy they won in Russia four years ago and become the first country to achieve that feat since Brazil in 1962.

Lionel Messi stands on the brink of matching the magic of Maradona

Didier Deschamps' side finished top of Group D, level on six points with Australia, after beating the Socceroos and Denmark before losing to Tunisia.

In the last 16, Robert Lewandowski and Poland were dispatched 3-1, before France edged past England 2-1 in the quarter-finals. Morocco were then beaten 2-0 in Wednesday's semi-final.

Argentina, meanwhile, are aiming to win the title for the first time since 1986 in what will be Lionel Messi's last World Cup appearance for his country.

Their Qatar campaign started in disastrous fashion after the South American champions fell to a shock defeat against Saudi Arabia. But victories over Mexico and Poland followed and Lionel Scaloni's men finished two points clear at the top of Group C.

Argentina defeated Australia 2-1 in the last 16 and then the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-finals. The reigning Copa America champions then powered past Croatia 3-0 in the last four to seal their final spot.

What is Reform?

Reform is a right-wing, populist party led by Nigel Farage, a former MEP who won a seat in the House of Commons last year at his eighth attempt and a prominent figure in the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.

It was founded in 2018 and originally called the Brexit Party.

Many of its members previously belonged to UKIP or the mainstream Conservatives.

After Brexit took place, the party focused on the reformation of British democracy.

Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson became its first MP after defecting in March 2024.

The party gained support from Elon Musk, and had hoped the tech billionaire would make a £100m donation. However, Mr Musk changed his mind and called for Mr Farage to step down as leader in a row involving the US tycoon's support for far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson who is in prison for contempt of court.

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
