Qatar – The next country to host the 2022 World Cup, Qatar is famous for being the richest in the world with many famous tourist destinations.
A small Gulf country full of paradoxes: rich in oil but having to import food, autocratic government but supporting democratic struggles abroad.
The country with a population of 2.6 million people, Qatar has the highest per capita income in the world: 129,700 USD/year.
The upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be held at the end of the year, instead of in the summer as traditionally.
The main reason for this change is that the weather in June and July in the West Asian country is extremely harsh.
Qatar has proposed a plan to cool World Cup venues using solar energy, but FIFA has leaned towards changing the match schedule so that teams can easily adapt.
In November and December, the average temperature in Qatar is 20 degrees Celsius. This will be ideal conditions for players and fans to enjoy the atmosphere at the world’s largest football festival.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is quite interested in the South American Football Confederation’s proposal to expand the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from 32 to 48 teams, instead of having to wait until 2026.
Last January, FIFA approved that the 2026 World Cup finals would be increased from 32 teams to 48 teams.
It is known that this change has a major impact on club-level competitions in Europe.
