Qatar will be the first country to host the FIFA world cup in the Arab world and the first in a Muslim-majority country. And this will also be the first World Cup held in Asia since the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan.

By the end of 2018, three of the eight stadiums earmarked for 2022 will be completed. The design for Lusail, the stadium set to host World Cup 2022 final, is expected to be unveiled by the end of the year.
Qatar’s colossal weekly budget of $500 million (428 million euros) on World Cup infrastructure has built new roads, hotels, neighborhoods even towns — its $36 billion metro system is on track to open in 2019.
