The 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup™ took place in Qatar in November and December and proved to be an unforgettable 29 days.
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ was always certain to be a tournament like no other. It was the first time that the most famous competition in global sport was held in the Arab world, that it was played in such a small geographic area, and that fans of all 32 nations could congregate in one space to bond over a shared passion. It was also the first time that Lionel Messi finally got his hands on the most coveted prize of them all: the FIFA World Cup Trophy.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup was the 22nd FIFA World Cup, the world championship for national football teams organized by FIFA. It took place in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022, after the country was awarded the hosting rights in 2010.[2] It was the first World Cup to be held in the Arab world and Muslim world, and the second held entirely in Asia after the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan.[AThis tournament was the last with 32 participating teams, with the number of teams being increased to 48 for the 2026 edition. To avoid the extremes of Qatar's hot climate,[B] the event was held in November and December instead of during the traditional months of May, June, or July.[C] It was held over a reduced time frame of 29 days with 64 matches played in eight venues across five cities. Qatar entered the event—their first World Cup—automatically as the host's national team, alongside 31 teams determined by the qualification process.
