When did they announce Qatar 2022? The World Cup will be held in the North American nation during the winter months. FIFA has already confirmed this, so the timings aren't far off. But it's still unclear exactly when the tournament will be held. The first round of the competition will take place in November and December, while the third place play-off is planned for December 17.

Some questions surround the construction process of the World Cup venue. Many migrant workers have been killed in the process of building the stadium. Amnesty International claimed that migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka had been killed in the construction process. However, a Qatari government spokesperson said the death rate has decreased as a result of health and safety reforms implemented over the last decade.

The world governing body was subjected to widespread criticism following the award. President Sepp Blatter admitted that collusion and financial exploitation took place during the bid process for the World Cup 2022. The award prompted the organization to hire an American lawyer who is investigating the processes for the 2018 and 2022 bids. According to the news outlet France Football, whistleblowers will be given anonymity in the process. However, FIFA set itself up for a huge trap with this award.

Although temperatures in the country can reach 50 degrees Celsius in the summer, the climate in Qatar is far from ideal for playing summer football. Similarly, the 1994 World Cup in Orlando was played in searing midday heat. Neither was particularly popular in the European leagues, nor was it in the United States. This relocation would have thrown a wrench into football calendars. As a result, FIFA has opted to award Qatar the World Cup 2022.
