If viewed from the northern hemisphere, the 2022 competition would mark the first-ever winter World Cup. Usually, the FIFA World Cup is held in the middle of the year, but when it came to Qatar, an exception had to be made, as it is in the Middle East, endures agonizingly hot temperatures that sometimes reach up to 50 degrees Celsius.
The FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar at only eight venues, which are the fewest World Cup sites in recent memory. In actuality, only one of the eight venues chosen to host the competition underwent a complete renovation, while the other seven are being built from scratch across the nation.
The 2022 world cup will see a record number of visitors by the time the world cup comes to an end. It is expected that over 1.5 million spectators from all over the world will enter Qatar during the FIFA World cup.
The most talked about point of the Qatar world cup was its high temperatures during the daytime. To counter that, Qatar has equipped its stadiums with fully centralized Air conditioning.
In 2002, Japan and South Korea jointly hosted the FIFA World Cup. Qatar will be the second Asian country to host this prestigious event.
The records have been set since Qatar won the hosting rights. Qatar will be the smallest nation to host the FIFA World Cup – both geographically and population-wise. Qatar is a small country of 11,000 square kilometers.
