The international governing body of association football, or in short FIFA, is preparing for the World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament which will be happening soon next year, and it will be hosted in Qatar. Which teams have a better chance at winning and how will Qatar manage tourism in this intercontinental event?

Taking place quadrennially the FIFA sees 32 nations competing against each other. With continental qualification pathways leading to an exciting finals event, it brings fans together around the world for the passion and love for the game. Statistically France is most likely to win considering they won the last world cup and the team is full of talented players. Gerardo Perez Sr., a long time Argentina fan, believes that Argentina actually has a chance to win this year.

Perez said, “Messi really wants to win this next world cup, it may be his last chance considering he may be retiring soon, I believe his team will give it their best.”

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament will undoubtedly afford football fans everywhere the chance to enjoy a unique experience in this Gulf country. Qatar has many wonderful resorts where people can relax and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. These include the Sealine Beach Resort, one of the finest coastal strips near the capital. Qatar has many Islands and water sports. Qatar also has a number of unique islands like Palm Island, the artificial Pearl Island, and the Zekreet peninsula, which boasts picturesque beaches and natural rock formations.

Bedouins are known for their hospitality and traditionally sharing their food with their guests. This culture is still deep rooted in Qatari society and permeates all aspects of life in Qatar. Guests remain an expression of hospitality. Qatari cuisine is rich and unique. Although this seems exciting, my best friend thinks there is a problem involving Qatar hosting the world cup due to abuses of immigrant workers rights when it comes to construction sites.

“I’m concerned about the harmful working and housing conditions,” he said.

With the upcoming FIFA world cup 2022 in Qatar, France is the most likely candidate to win and Qatar will be a great place to host the world cup. However they may have some issues about immigrant workers when it comes to getting prepared for tourism and building the necessary infrastructure to accommodate visitors.
