FIFA WORLD CUP 2022 IS HELD IN QATAR
A winter FIFA World Cup, which has never happened in the hundreds of years of football history, will soon be a reality for the entire football world. FIFA World Cup 2022 is being hosted by Qatar.
Considering that it gets rather hot in the Middle East throughout the summers in Europe, FIFA’s choice to award Qatar the event created several technical issues, one of which was when it would be played.

When and how hot will the 2022 World Cup be?
It’s going to get quite warm. The FIFA World Cup is being hosted in Qatar between November 21 and December 18, when the country’s average high is 25 degrees (77F). The games would have been contested in temperatures above 40 degrees and probably even 50C if the finals had been scheduled in June and July, as they typically are.
The first proposal from Qatar was to hold the finals in air-conditioned venues throughout the summer, but the idea was denied. In November and December, when the World Cup is taking place, temperatures are predicted to range from 21 to 26 degrees. Athletes in the Northern Hemisphere are better accustomed to those temps.
Why 2022 FIFA World Cup matches are going to be played in November and December?
When Qatar was allocated the FIFA World Cup, one of the practical issues that arose right away was when it would be contested. In Qatar, the summers are far too hot to play professional football without risking the health of the players. FIFA chose in 2015 to shift the World Cup to November and December rather than the customary months of June and July, where it had previously been held.
While this decision relieved issues about the Middle East’s weather, it created a scheduling dilemma for leagues around the world. Most leagues from around the globe will pause to permit the FIFA World Cup, however, most players will only have a week or two to rehearse for their initial fixtures at the championship.
What is the difficulty with hosting the World Cup in the later part of the year?
Football clubs in Europe have active months in November and December. Leading individuals will be invited up to represent their nations in Qatar 2022. A week before the international competition, several European leagues, notably the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, and Spanish La Liga, are halting their regular seasons. Club leagues will resume after the FIFA World Cup 2022 is over.
How will spectators and players feel cool in Qatar?
All eight of Qatar’s World Cup stadiums have air conditioning to keep both players and visitors fresh during matches because of the intense heat. Solar-powered grills will be utilized in the stands and nozzles on the field; the technology is intended to draw in dusty air and purify it.
What is the format and schedule of the FIFA World Cup 2022?
FIFA World Cup 2022 takes place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. 32 teams are participating in the World Cup from the commencement, and they are split up into eight groups with four nations each. There are a total of 16 teams after the group stages, with the leading two countries from each group moving on to the knockout phase.
The knockout stages, which include the Round of 16, Quarter Finals, and Semi-Finals, all have single-match results. There must be a winner after each game during these matches. If the sides are tied after 90 minutes of a knockout game, extra time and penalty kicks will be played to decide the winner. In addition, the losing teams from each Semi-Final play one another to decide who takes third place.
