2. QATAR 2022
The Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup bid is the successful
proposal from the government of Qatar to host the 2022 FIFA
World Cup. Qatar, a Persian Gulf nation with a population of
1.69 million people, will be the first Arab state to host the
World Cup. Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khaalifa Al-
Thani, son of the present Emir of Qatar, was the chairman of
the bid committee. Qatar promoted their hosting of the
tournament as representing the Arab World, and has drawn
support from across the member states of the Arab League.
They also positioned their bid as an opportunity to bridge the
gap between the Arab World and the West
6. QATAR WEATHER
Working against the Qatar bid was the extreme temperature in
the desert country. The World Cup always takes place during
the European off-season in June and July. During this period
the average daytime high in most of Qatar exceeds 50 C
(120 F), the average daily low temperatures not dropping
below 30 C (86 F). In response to this issue, Sheikh
Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, the 2022 Qatar
bid chairman, has stated, "the event has to be organized in
June or July. We will have to take the help of technology to
counter the harsh weather. We have already set in motion the
process. A stadium with controlled temperature is the answer
to the problem. We have other plans up our sleeves as
well."Qatar launched an advertising campaign across
the[which?] country
7. PROPOSED STADIA
The first five proposed stadia for the World Cup were
unveiled at the beginning of March 2010. The stadia

Celsius, and the upper tiers of the stadia will be
disassembled after the World Cup and donated to
countries with less developed sports infrastructure .
All of the five stadium projects launched have been
designed by German architect Albert Speer &
Partners .
