How to Get Ready For the FIFA World Cup 2022
In a few years, the World Cup will be back with its third edition, scheduled for Qatar from 21 November to 18 December. With the competition expected to bring in millions of spectators, this quadrennial event will be the biggest ever for men's football. But how can we get ready? Here are some tips:
First, FIFA should ensure that labour rights are respected in World Cup stadia, a top priority. Moreover, it should use its leverage to guarantee respect for labour rights in the construction of infrastructure projects. For example, the Mercury MENA case highlighted the need for labour rights in the hospitality sector and cooling systems. The World Cup 2022 should do more to address this issue. Its failure to do so could be detrimental to the tournament's success.
A 32-team field was also revealed, with 32 countries representing various continents. The host nation, Qatar, received an automatic spot and the remaining 30 had to qualify via their respective continental governing bodies. The continents are divided into five regions: Asia, Africa, Europe, North America/Central America, and South America. Australia, a member of the Asian confederation, was one of the countries that qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Another major change to the World Cup has to do with the allocation of tickets. FIFA has created a $209 million fund from the World Cup's revenues to compensate affected teams. In addition to this, the World Cup is allowing teams to use up to five substitutions in a regulation 90 minutes. During a pandemic, this will also help reduce the player workload. The World Cup is a wonderful event and the event will make a huge impact on the global soccer scene.
While Italy is the most experienced team in the tournament, there are also some young sides who have potential. Aside from the Netherlands and Argentina, Italy have beaten Brazil in the Nations League. While their two key players, Eden Hazard and Romelukaku, are doubtful for the World Cup, there are a few emerging players. Lois Openda, who scored in the heavy win against Poland, is one of those players who might make an impact in Qatar.
The World Cup has been one of the most anticipated sporting events in history. Whether it's the host nation, the 2022 World Cup is sure to deliver engaged audiences and ticket sales. However, some countries and cities have proven less than ideal hosting locations. For those who are unsure, the World Cup has the potential to be a huge draw for brands and countries alike. With such high anticipation, it is essential to get your tickets early so as to avoid disappointment.
In Qatar, fans can look forward to a World Cup in which soccer is played in stunning conditions. Two stadiums in Doha are ready to host the event. Both will host the matches in the round of 16. In addition, they will be home to the best players in the world, which makes this tournament all the more exciting. Aside from Stadium 974, the new World Cup will be held in Qatar. The stadium will feature both the main competition matches as well as the semifinal and the final.
