For many years, the months of May, June and July have historically hosted the FIFA World Cup. This tradition has been maintained since 1930, although that will change in 2022. The World Cup in Qatar will not be played in the middle of the year, but will be held in November and December: it will kick off on 20/11 and the final will be played on 18/12.

According to FIFA, the reason for this change is due to the high temperatures in Qatar during those months. The fact is that the country's summer temperatures make it practically impossible to hold a sporting competition in the territory. The hot season goes from mid-May to September, with an average temperature of 37º. The hottest month of the year in Qatar is July, with an average maximum temperature of 41º and minimum of 31º.

Are there any requirements for fans at Qatar 2022?

It was confirmed that coronavirus vaccination is not required. However, the government of the host country and the Supreme Organizing Committee stated that it will be essential to present a negative PCR test 48 hours before, if it is a 24-hour antigen test, in order to visit the Asian country.
