The Qatar World Cup 2022 Games Schedule

FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar has never been a football event like all the others since day one. Let's mention only a few new aspects that this FIFA World Cup edition brings to light. First of all, the location is unconventional: Qatar, a small kingdom in the heart of the Middle East region, is the first in the football history of FIFA to host an international event of this scale. But that's not all because the organizers planned to offer even more than one match on the same day. It should be an occasion for foreign football fans to move to the country and take in its culture in the meanwhile.

The particular affinity between the Arabic culture and the concept of luxury is another new aspect of this long-awaited football event. Each of the eight stadiums dedicated to the World Cup matches is packed with unparalleled high-tech and unbridled luxury for everyone. What about the money? We all know that Arabic people aren't second to anyone when it comes to spending money: Qatari officials revealed that the entire organization of FIFA World Cup 2022 has already come with a cost of about $200 billion for building new stadiums, roads, infrastructures, and hotels.

Undoubtedly, Qatar World Cup 2022 will mark and change football history forever.

With a stunning new location, FIFA World Cup 2022 comes with a new season arrangement: the hosting country doesn't offer comfortable weather conditions during summer.
