THE WORLD CUP QATAR 2022
THE WORLD CUP QATAR 2022
The Qatar 2022 World Cup takes place from November to December. It is the tournament that paralyzes the planet and makes soccer the topic of conversation for a month in every corner of each participating country.
The tournament was surrounded by doubts, but after many controversies, Qatar is the host country.
It will be the first World Cup held in the fall in the northern hemisphere. The ball started on Sunday, November 20, 2022 and will end on Sunday, December 18, 2022. The reason for this date is related to the heat: in June and July, temperatures in the Arab country reach 50 degrees Celsius, which does not allow the organization of such a large soccer competition.
This situation will cause a pause in the major world leagues, which will resume their activities at the end of December, or even in January for some of them.
The teams qualified for Qatar 2022 have had one of their last chances to finalize their squads and starting eleven with international matches taking place around the world. UEFA representatives participated in the European Nations League, some of whose matches will be replayed during the World Cup. The rest of the qualified teams from the other confederations played friendly matches, some with opponents that served as preparation for the countries they will face at the World Cup. FIFA‘s matchday ran from September 19-27, with a break in the major European leagues.
The teams that will be in Qatar had the opportunity to test themselves in the European Nations League and various international friendlies.
What’s new at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar?
This is the first World Cup to be held in the Middle East.
Qatar will have a dismantled stadium. It will take three years to build and will have a capacity of 40,000 spectators. The stadium will be a modular block structure, pieces that fit into containers for easy transport and can be taken to other sports venues at the end of the World Cup. Qatar’s intention is to offer it in the future to other countries with fewer resources and in need. It will be a great legacy for the history of the World Cup, in the words of architect Mark Fenwich: “Ras Abu Aboud Stadium will be the first mobile and reusable stadium of the World Cup. Its construction will require less material and therefore generate less waste, making it an important contribution to innovation and sustainability.
For this World Cup, fans will be able to attend multiple games on the same day, they will no longer have to travel long distances between cities to accompany their teams, and they will also be able to enjoy tourism and other activities.
