Why Is The World Cup Being Played In The Winter?

The 2022 World Cup is held in winter due to Qatar's extreme summer heat, with temperatures reaching over 107 degrees. FIFA awarded Qatar the games in 2010, knowing the climate challenges but aiming to promote the game globally. This is the first World Cup in the Middle East, and the timing shift has required adjustments from soccer leagues and TV networks. The final match will be held on December 18th, when temperatures are cooler, around 80 degrees, ensuring better conditions for the players and fans.
