FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022
The FIFA World Cup 2022 will be a tournament like no other. It will be connected, green and personalized to your individual preferences. It will be the first time the world’s biggest football tournament is held in the Middle East, and the first FIFA World Cup where the stadiums are so closely linked that fans can easily attend two matches in a single day.
None of the FIFA World Cup stadiums in Qatar will be more than an hour’s travel time from any other. This is will mean that fans can cheer on their favorite team in Al Janoub Stadium, south of Doha, in the afternoon- and be soaking up the atmosphere in Al-Bayt Stadium-Al Khor City in northern Qatar on the very same evening.
Fans will travel to matches via metro, car, rail, bike, or even water taxi, using advanced transport systems that will help to make this the greenest FIFA World Cup ever. All accommodation from budget options to luxurious hotels, will also be within easy reach of tournament venues.
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will be an event that gives football fans convenience and complete choice, allowing them to create their own experience.
