Qatar Football World Cup: What it’s actually like in Qatar ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Before I went to Qatar, I thought it was a country of guards, camel beauty contests, and huge sums of money. Save the spraying of humorous stadiums, certified by FIFA, with little hint that Qatar is playing football. When I arrive I see no poles in the parks, local people playing, or No Ball Games signs like these found everywhere in the UK. Football World Cup 2022 fans from all over the world can book Football World Cup tickets from our online platforms WorldWideTicketsandHospitality.com Football fans can book Qatar Football World Cup Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

But football is the reason for being here. Fans of the Good Game will head to Qatar in November when the FIFA World Cup 2022 arrives in the city. It is a controversial choice, not just because of its heat in the desert, but because of its subtle record of human rights and antiquity laws. While in the UK celebrating Jake Daniels became the first top British footballer to leave since Justin Fashanu, who committed suicide in 1998, in Qatar to identify homosexuality is still illegal. Thousands of migrant workers have also been reported dead in Qatar in the years since the FIFA World Cup. However, estimates predict that 1.7 million runners will reach the compact peninsula during the race, which is an earthquake. To put things in perspective, 2.14 million tourists visited Qatar throughout the year 2019. At road level, traffic jams from bumper-to-bumper mean a five-minute walk takes thirty; underground, the clean, driverless Doha metro quickly dives around the city. The streets are bustling, while the modern metro, which runs smoothly through the city, is empty. It is a fitting symbol of life here. Playing with love for the future, Qatar looks much more modern than it feels.
