For the first time in history, the largest football tournament will be held in the Middle East. In this regard, the timing of the matches will change dramatically. Usually the world championship takes place in the summer, but the 2022 World Cup will be held at the end of the year - from November to December.

In Qatar, which will host the World Cup, only at this time the optimum temperature for playing football is within 25 degrees. World Cup 2022 promises to be massive. The hosts are building new stadiums and even small towns especially for the tournament. Everything is for football fans.

Thanks to unique logistics, fans can easily attend two matches on the same day in different cities, avoiding long journeys, as the maximum distance between stadiums is only 75 km. It will take football fans no more than an hour to get from one arena to another.

Tournament games will be held in five cities, Doha, Al Khor, Lusail, Al Rayyan and Al Wakra, at eight stadiums: Khalifa, Al Janub, Al Bayt, Education City, Ahmad Bin Ali", "Al-Tumame", "974" and "Lusail".

Such a tournament as the World Cup does not need additional advertising. World championship matches attract tens of thousands of people to stadiums and millions to TV screens. The best national teams of the planet perform at the world championships. This tournament is a great opportunity to see the world's leading football players live.

32 teams will get to the world championship, which will fight first for the exit from the group, and then for the trophy. Any team that qualifies for the tournament can theoretically win the World Cup. But historically, some national teams are a priori the favorites of every World Cup.
