Why is the 2022 World Cup in November?
The World Cup is traditionally held in the summer.
However, since Qatar was announced as the host nation for the 2022 tournament, it was moved to the winter given summer temperatures in the Middle Eastern country can reach average daily highs of over 41 degrees Celsius (106F).
Why is Qatar a controversial venue for the 2022 World Cup?
Several issues made Qatar a controversial choice for hosting the World Cup.
Most significantly, there have been widespread accusations of poor working conditions for the migrant workers who built the football stadiums in the country.
Since Qatar was announced as the venue for the 2022 World Cup in 2011, an estimated 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in the country.
This has raised serious moral questions over whether the World Cup should have been allowed to take place in Qatar at all, a nation which already had a poor human rights record.
Beyond this, global football schedules have been affected by the decision to hold a World Cup in the winter, with the majority of leagues being temporarily suspended for the tournament.
Finally, there are strict regulations in place for tourists who wish to attend World Cup games. You can find details of these regulations on the Gov.UK website.
Where will the 2026 World Cup be held?
The next World Cup will be held in North America, with matches being played across the continent in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Is the World Cup trophy real gold?
The original ‘Jules Rimet’ World Cup trophy was made of gold-plated sterling silver and lapis lazuli, with an estimated value of $20 million. It was stolen in 1983 and never recovered.
Today, the winners receive a bronze replica, which is gold-plated. Now, let’s get ready to find out who will lift the famous trophy this year! All you need is ExpressVPN to catch ALL the action!
