When and Where Is the World Cup Being Held?
The 2022 World Cup is scheduled to take place between November 21 and December 18, 2022. This will be the first time that a World Cup has been held in the Middle East.
Qatar was awarded the honor of hosting the tournament after its bid to host the 2022 tournament was won. The country beat out South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
The following cities will host games during the tournament: Lusail, Al Khor, Al Wakrah, the capital Doha, and Al Rayyan.
While this world cup has been heavily criticized because Qatar isn’t known for football (soccer), and for its laws regarding human rights, there is still plenty of anticipation.

So if you’re desperate to go, it’s a good time to update the skills section of your resume or count your savings.
