The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be held from November 21 to December 18, 2022
The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18.
That confirmed FIFA World Football Association on Friday. The global tournament normally lasts 31 days, but is now shortened to 28 days. That the final takes place on December 18 was already announced earlier this year.
A World Cup in the summer months is common, but in Qatar there is extreme heat. It will therefore be the first ever soccer World Cup in the winter.
With only 28 days, the Qatar tournament is the shortest World Cup in 44 years. The 1978 global final battle in Argentini & euml; lasted 25 days.
European leagues
Shifting the tournament to winter has major implications for the European play calendar.
The first World Cup ever in the winter caused a lot of fuss at major competitions in Europe. Almost all competitions continue as normal during the winter months.
European top clubs are compensated for around ? 195 million for donating players to the World Cups in Russia (2018) and Qatar .
