FIFA Approves Squads for World Cup 2022
The World Cup is a big event and the United States men's national team will arrive in Doha with the aim of making the knockout stage. The country is a notoriously discriminatory country that has a bad human rights record, including the imprisonment of migrants caught in a restrictive employment system. In addition, hundreds of people have died as a result of infrastructure projects and stadium construction, and homosexuality is banned. Despite the protests, the U.S. team will try to make the knockout stage, but their current ranking is only sixth among the four teams.
After qualifying for the tournament, Fifa has approved the squads for the World Cup in Qatar. Thirty of the 32 teams have been confirmed, but that number could rise as more nations are eliminated. While 30 nations qualified automatically, others must undergo a qualification process, and in the case of Qatar, this was a deciding factor. Four-time World Cup winners Germany and Brazil have both secured their places. England, Portugal, and Spain, as well as the Netherlands, will play their opening games in Qatar.
Although the weather conditions will be warm, the world cup will be played in extremely humid conditions. While summer temperatures in Qatar can reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the winters can reach 23 degrees. The tournament will end on July 21 and last for two weeks. Because of these extreme conditions, many domestic leagues will have to pause their season. As a result, the Premier League will have to take a break from their own season.
However, a recent study found that net support for brands pulling out of the World Cup in Qatar was a whopping plus-34. That figure is a far cry from the previous years when a similar number of brands pulled out. In addition, some brands were hesitant to risk upsetting the Chinese market during the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing. Some of them suggested refraining from using the word "Qatar" in their marketing, on social media, and in television spots.
The World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world, and Qatar has made the move to host it in 2022. Taking advantage of its location, a small state on the Arabian Peninsula could make its way to the center of global sports and politics. Amid the construction, there are many concerns about the safety and well-being of migrant workers. A recent Amnesty International report claims that more than 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since the World Cup was first held. Qatar's government responded by stating that this figure is just a small percentage of the number of expatriates who died in Qatar between 2011 and 2019.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is expected to take place in November and December. The tournament will be the first time that a World Cup is held in a predominantly Arab country. The climate is more temperate during this time, which will make the tournament even more enjoyable for both the players and the spectators. The event will also be the first in the Middle East and the second Asian World Cup. However, the upcoming Qatar World Cup will bring a new level of excitement to the host city.
