The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be played in Qatar from 22 November to 15 June 2022. It will be the first time the tournament is hosted in the Arab world, and the first time it will be held in the Middle East. The 2022 World Cup will feature 32 teams playing 64 games. Matches will be played in 12 stadiums across the country, and here is everything you need to know about them.
Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup
With all the controversy surrounding the bid process for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, it is not surprising that few people were aware that Qatar was set to host the 2026 edition too. However, after a unanimous vote by the FIFA Executive Committee in October 2017, Qatar is set to host the 2026 edition of the tournament,
with the first game to be played on 14 June 2026. Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup in 2010 after a vote by Fifa’s 208 member federations. The decision to award the tournament to the Middle East was met with widespread criticism, with many stating that it was inappropriate to hold the event in a country that did not have proper air-conditioning facilities in place.
World Cup 2022 Final Fixtures
Fixtures for the 2022 World Cup have not been announced yet, but the draw has been scheduled for 9 December 2022 in Muscat, Oman. The first match will be played on Friday 22 November 2022 between hosts Qatar and Mexico at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. The final will be held on Saturday 15 June 2022 at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
