The 2022 FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar feels more real than ever after the stage has been set with the World Cup draw moments ago. For the first time ever, the World Cup will be held in the Middle East and will begin in late November. Traditionally, the tournament has been held in the months of June and July.
