There is not much time left until the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. However, is Qatar really ready to host such a big tournament?
There is exactly a year left until the opening match of the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup, which will be played on November 21, 2022 at the Al Bayt Stadium. Before the kick-off is Qatar ready to host the tournament? Whether the country is ready or not, national teams use every power they have to get there. Qualifier rounds provide us the proof of it.

It will undoubtedly be a relief for the organizers as football will be at the center throughout the tournament. Because it will distract the public from the numerous off-the-pitch issues seen while the construction continues. Such as labour rights for migrant workers surrounding the event.
Qatar is the smallest country to host the FIFA World Cup. This is why all stadiums are located around the capital city Doha. Due to this fact, fans will be able to attend more than one game on the same day. This detail will also allow spectators around the world to watch unprecedented four consecutive matches in one day.
The last-minute rush at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil to complete the stadium and infrastructure construction will not be repeated in Qatar.
What the officials say about it?
According to the Organizing Supreme Committee, five of the eight stadiums specifically built for the FIFA World Cup have been already completed. Three more stadiums – Ras Abu Aboud, Al Bayt and Losail – will be opened before the kick-off of the tournament.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement that it will be great because these eight, state-of-the-art stadiums will be some of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. And there will be only 50 kilometers within of each other. He also mentioned the fact that FIFA World Cup is a big opportunity to get to know other cultures and people.
Top committee spokesperson Fatma Al-Nuaimi told reporters that they have completed 98 percent of the infrastructure work. So, according to plans, there is still some way to go and enough time to do it. We will wait and see how everything will turn out at the end.
