HONG KONG (Reuters) - The countdown to the 2022 World Cup final will tick over to exactly two years on Friday when players from Ulsan Hyundai and Persepolis wander onto the pitch at Doha's Al Janoub Stadium on the eve of the Asian Champions League final.

While the metaphoric temperature will be on the rise as the teams fine-tune their preparations for Saturday's title decider, stadium cooling technology will ensure the mercury hovers at around the 22 degrees Celsius mark.
