Background
The Fifa Worldcup is set to take place in Qatar in 2022. This will be the first time that the event will be held in an Arabic-speaking country. Qatar was selected as the host nation by Fifa’s executive committee in 2010, making it the first Asian country to be chosen to host the tournament.
The selection of Qatar as the host nation for the 2022 World Cup was met with criticism from some quarters. There were concerns about the country’s lack of experience in hosting major international sporting events, as well as worries about the potential for human rights abuses in the construction of new stadiums and infrastructure for the tournament.
However, Qatar has vowed to deliver a “safe, secure and enjoyable” World Cup experience for all visitors, and work is already underway on a number of brand new stadiums that will be used for the tournament. With just over seven years to go until kickoff, preparations are well underway for what promises to be a truly historic event.
