Qatar Chance in hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Qatar (2022 only) - home to AFC chief Mohammed Bin Hammam and rich enough to finance the World Cup, but the weather, the small population and the lack of infrastructure will count against them. There is a good chance that the World Cup will come to the Middle East in the future, and there was a big push at Soccerex 2008 (Dubai) to encourage UAE to make a formal bid for the event, but Qatar doesn’t seem to be the likely location for it.

Having said that, they have experience in hosting major events with 2006 Asian Games and they’re also due to host the Asia Cup in 2011.

Qatar have a better chance than rival bids from Japan and South Korea, but fade out in comparison to much stronger bids from Europe and Australia, not to mention North America.
