Will World Cup 2022 Happen?
If there is one question that is likely to dominate the World Cup 2022, it's the location. Many countries have the potential to host the tournament, but many are unsure whether this would be a good idea. The decision to move the tournament to Europe will help to ease concerns. While the new host country is Qatar, the city itself has the infrastructure to accommodate a World Class tournament. Amid the worries, there are still ways to get the event there.
The World Cup qualifiers have been delayed several times, but FIFA has defended the organisers of the tournament and pushed the event back six months to November 2022. This is safer for the players and the hosts. In addition, the tournament will take place in Europe, with the vast majority of first-round berths going to Europe. Once the final round of qualifying is completed in March, the field will be set, and the inter-confederation playoff winners will be decided in June. Below are the current qualifiers and where they stand in the qualifying process.
In addition to relocating the World Cup, FIFA has postponed the qualifying period in two regions. Earlier, the first four rounds were delayed until March 2022. This meant that European teams couldn't travel to South America for the event. After that, qualifying resumed, with two rounds scheduled before the Copa America tournament in early June. Then, after the inter-confederation playoffs, the World Championship will return to its normal format and venue.
The FIFA executive committee recently moved the 2022 World Cup to late November. By doing so, the tournament will take place when the high temperatures in Europe reach 80 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time, the weather will be more favorable for players. If it's too cold, players will be at risk of the coronavirus pandemic. This means that the next Worlds could be delayed by two or three years.
If it's a "yes" vote, Qatar secured a berth in December 2010 and will host the tournament. The tournament will be a 32-team event, but the 2026 World Cup will expand to 48-team tournament. The allocation includes 13 European and five African nations. There are also two and a half South American spots. The continents of North and Central America and Oceania will share one spot.
In addition to the Qatari bid, the 2022 World Cup will be held in Brazil and Qatar, a country that will host the tournament. The FIFA congress has the power to decide the location. It's important to note that this is not a simple vote, because the bids from the various countries are different. There are a number of reasons why FIFA will choose the host of the 2022 World Cup, and the United States' country should not.
