The Qatar 2022, FIFA World Cup was the 22nd FIFA World Cup. It was hosted in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022. It was the first World Cup hosted in the Arab world,[1] and the second to be hosted fully in Asia.[a] This was the last World Cup played with a 32 team format. The tournament was played during the months of November and December to avoid the intense heat during the summer months in Qatar.[2] The reigning champions were France.[3]
There have been suspicions on whether Qatar earned hosting rights fairly. An investigation that was done by FIFA reported that Qatar earned hosting rights fairly. This investigation was criticized by Michael J. Garcia.[4] Qatar was also criticized because of the treatment of the foreign workers preparing the World Cup stadiums.[5][6]
