FIFA WORLD

CUP QATAR 2022

INTRODUCTION
 The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international 
association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams
 of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (
FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The tournament has been held every
four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946
when it was not held because of the Second World War. The reigning
champions are Argentina, who won their third title at the 2022 tournament.
FIFA WORLD CUP QATAR
 The Qatar 2022, FIFA World Cup was the 22nd FIFA World Cup. It has been
hosted in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022. It was the first World
Cup hosted in the Arab world,[1] and the second to be hosted fully in Asia.[a] This
was the last World Cup with 32 teams, the next World Cups are going to have 48
teams. The tournament was played in November and December because Qatar is a
very hot country.
 This tournament was the last with 32 participating teams, with the number of teams
being increased to 48 for the 2026 edition. To avoid the extremes of Qatar's hot
climate,[B] the event was held during November and December.[C] It was held over a
reduced time frame of 29 days with 64 matches played in eight venues across five
cities. Qatar entered the event—their first World Cup—automatically as the host's
national team, alongside 31 teams determined by the qualification process.
 The choice to host the World Cup in Qatar attracted significant criticism,
with concerns raised over the country's treatment of migrant workers, as well
as Qatar's climate, lack of a strong football culture, scheduling changes, and
allegations of bribery for hosting rights and wider FIFA corruption.
 Qatar has built 8 large stadiums for great performance and an
unforgettable arabic experience.
