Qatar to Host 2022 Soccer World Cup

The tiny Middle Eastern nation of Qatar has a soccer team, but it has never played in soccer's greatest tournament, the World Cup. However, something amazing will happen in 2022, when Qatar will become the first nation in the Middle East to host the men's Soccer World Cup games.

Some fans were confused about this choice. Where will the athletes compete? Qatar doesn't have any stadiums built yet. Also, the weather in Qatar gets extremely hot in the summer. However, Qatar has plans to fix those problems.The country has announced plans to build enough stadiums for the tournament.To keep everyone cool, each stadium will have solar-powered air-conditioning. Qatar is also building a new airport and train system. Because the stadiums will be so close together and connected by train, fans will be able to watch two games in one day.

Qatar has big plans for its new stadiums. Game officials say that after the World Cup, they will take the stadiums down.The stadiums will be taken apart and sent to countries that don't have 20 enough money to build their own stadiums.

Qatar is very happy to be the·first Middle Eastern nation to host the tournament.As the country's Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa AI-Thani said to the World Cup organization, "Thank you for believing in change.... Thank you for giving Qatar a chance."
