Qatar World Cup
Gulf football championship
The Qatar World Cup refers to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the international football tournament held in Qatar from November to December—the first World Cup staged in the Middle East and the first held in winter to avoid extreme summer heat.
The event drew controversy over Qatar's treatment of migrant workers, restrictions on LGBTQ+ rights, and allegations of corruption in the bidding process: The Qatar World Cup sparked debates about sportswashing.
