From November 20 to December 18, Qatar will host the FIFA World Cup 2022. The FIFA World Cup 2022, which is slated to be the 22nd edition of the international football competition, is expected to be particularly memorable as it would be the first World Cup to be hosted by a Middle Eastern nation. The FIFA World Cup will also be held in Asia for the second time this year. Japan and South Korea shared hosting duties for the FIFA World Cup in 2002.
64 matches involving 32 countries will be played at a total of eight stadiums distributed over five different Qatari cities in the FIFA World Cup 2022. Doha, the capital of Qatar, is 55 kilometers apart from each venue.
