FIFA World Cup 2022 Schedule

FIFA World Cup 2022 will be the 22nd edition of world's biggest sport tournament and that too by quite some margin. This year's competition is special in so many ways. It is taking place for the very first time in Middle-East. Qatar will host what is the most expensive World cup to date considering how much money Qatar had to invest both in terms of the bid also in terms of infrastructure in Stadiums and facilities around the tournament. This will be the very first time that tournament is taking place in Winter which means club football will be halted during the world cup.
