Counting the Days for FIFA World Cup 2022
Football in Qatar, like in many other countries in the world, is like religion. There are football fanatics all over the country and the fact that Qatar was awarded the FIFA World Cup 2022 is a matter of immense pride in the country. Many Qataris almost had a heart attack when the announcement was made. But now the ordeal is over and the entire nation is now sure that Qatar will be the proud hosts of this great global event.
Football in Qatar may not be as successful as in the neighbouring countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran, but Qatar has had success in the Asian football scenario. Most Qataris didn’t even feel that the country would be given the role of host for the 2022 World Cup. But now there is that feeling of being the host of the largest football competition in the world – the amount of work going on everywhere is visible and everyone is now doing the countdown already, waiting for November of 2022.
Al Sadd SC is the most successful football club in the country. The club, which plays in all-white like the legendary Real Madrid, is one of the reasons why football is the most popular sport in the country. After all, iconic players like Raúl and Ali Daei have graced the famed colours of this club. With the responsibility of organizing World Cup now being awarded to Qatar, there is an expectation that more legendary footballers will arrive here and show their skills. And with more such players coming in, Qatar will surely make the right noises when football’s who and who arrives for the World Cup.
Football in Qatar has already become more popular thanks to the FIFA World Cup 2022 and by the time 2022 arrives, it will have reached a fever pitch. There will be a lot of football betting involved during the World Cup and this should augur well for everyone. Will Argentina be led to ultimate glory by the best footballer ever or will a non-European country finally win the global tournament after three editions? There is a lot to be thought and football will be the winner in the end.
There has been some negative publicity over how the preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2022 has been going on. But the actual scenario is much less volatile than the noise that has been generated in the global media. The work on the high-tech modern stadiums in the country is going on in full speed. Lusail Iconic Stadium and the Khalifa International Stadium at Doha are going to make people stare and admire.
FIFA World Cup 2022 is already different – it is the first World Cup to be played during winter. More difference will be seen when the world arrives at Qatar for the event – the Qataris are, after all, one of the most hospitable people around.
All the Qataris are already waiting for November 2022. The FIFA World Cup 2022 will be the best ever and the Qataris will make sure that that happens.
