The biggest football tournament in the world will soon begin in Qatar in November 2022. It is planned that 32 countries will compete in this event and 8 stadiums have been prepared by Qatar.
Qatar, which is hosting the 2022 World Cup, turns out to have interesting facts, let’s look at the following explanation!
- First Muslim Country
Since the first world cup was held in 1930 in Uruguay, no Muslim countries have hosted it ever since. At the 2022 World Cup this time, Qatar, which is the majority of the Muslim community, has implemented several important regulations. One of them prohibits the sale and consumption of alcohol in the stadium area. Fans who want to consume alcohol are provided in certain places.
- Stadiums Fully Equipped with Air Conditioning
Qatar is a country located in the Middle East region, so it is estimated that in November, some parts of Qatar can reach 42 degrees Celsius. This is anticipated by the Qatari government by providing air conditioning as well as purifiers in every stadium that hosts the world cup.
- 2,000 security cameras
To secure the 2022 world cup, Qatar, assisted by the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army, will be equipped with advanced technology used by NASA. One of them is camera technology that can monitor people clearly while in the stadium.
- Most Expensive World Cup
Qatar, which is a rich middle eastern country, will be the most expensive country to host the world cup. For your information, holding the 2018 World Cup in Russia cost $14.2 billion. Qatar has spent a budget of $200 billion.
This year’s world cup will be very interesting, good luck everyone!
