Where the 2022 World Cup will be held
2022 World Cup host country
The World Cup 2022 will be held in Qatar. This is the first time that the World Cup will be held on the territory of a Middle Eastern country, and it is also a special soccer tournament that will take place in winter. As most fans of the World Cup know, most of the previous World Cups were held in the summer, but the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is different. Due to Qatar's special climate problems, the tournament had to be held in winter, knowing that the heat in Qatar in the summer can reach up to 45 degrees Celsius outdoor temperature. Players who play sports in this hot environment may feel uncomfortable standing for a long time, not to mention playing soccer. In contrast, Qatar is cooler and drier in the winter, making it a better place for athletes to play soccer.
Being able to win the bid to host the 2022 World Cup was actually an effort by Qatar. Facing competition from Australia, Japan, South Korea and the United States, Qatar got the right to host the 22nd Soccer World Cup by virtue of the most votes, and they also became one of the 32 strongest teams in this World Cup for being the host. It is worth noting that the Qatar national team
The team has a history of zero World Cup appearances, meaning that the 2022 World Cup will be the first time they have ever played in a World Cup, and the way to qualify is that the hosts are automatically awarded a place, not through qualifying and play-offs. For Qatar this is an opportunity to be cherished and a moment to leave behind their own highlights on the World Cup stage, and it is believed that they will go all out to hit even higher targets. The World Cup proper in Qatar will run from November 21, 2022 - December 18, 2022
