World Cup 2022: Everything you need to know

The FIFA World Cup is the biggest soccer tournament in the world. It runs every four years and for the final time it will have 32 teams fighting for the championship.

The tournament will take place in Qatar. It’s the first time it will be held in a Middle Eastern country and the first time it will be played in the latter part of the year as the weather will be a bit cooler than the high days of the late spring and early summer.

Qatar’s hosting of the World Cup doesn’t come without controversy.

The country has been denounced for "washing" its image as its human-rights record, including the treatment of the LGBTQ community and the construction workers who helped build the FIFA World Cup into what it is right now, come under the microscope. Some have chosen to boycott the tournament while fans have let their voices be heard at some of the top European matches over the last few months.
