The many differences of the Qatar World Cup
2022-11-15 14:55The World Cup kicks off in Qatar on November 20 , and this year's World Cup has many differences.
On December 15 , 2006, at the end of the Asian Games in Doha, the hosts announced that they would bid for the World Cup and the Olympics in the future. At that time, everyone generally believed that this was their dream, and few people believed that this dream could become a reality.
Qatar is located in the Arab region of the Middle East, with an area of only 10,000 square kilometers. Their population was less than 1 million when the Asian Games were held 16 years ago . According to the latest figures, the country's population has grown exponentially, but it is still just over 2.5 million. However, the per capita gross domestic product ( GPD ) here is among the highest in the world and is widely regarded as one of the richest countries in the world. Due to its strong economic strength and national love for sports, especially football, Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup in 2010.
Qatar is the first country in the Middle East to host the World Cup, so it can be said that they have put all their national effort into preparing for the event. The Qatari government has publicly admitted that it has invested more than $300 billion in infrastructure projects since the World Cup was set up . Qatar 's annual GDP in 2020 is 146.3 billion US dollars, and the cost of hosting the World Cup is worth the GDP of the entire country for two years .
In addition, the Qatar World Cup also includes the winter games in the northern hemisphere. Team roster expanded. The arena is highly concentrated, etc. In this World Cup, the roster of each team has increased from 23 to 26 , and each team has a maximum of 15 substitute players. This change can greatly enrich the tactical play of each team.
The 8 stadiums of this World Cup are concentrated in the "one-hour traffic circle", which helps to reduce the team's commute time and help better play the game.
In recent years, the Gulf countries represented by the World Cup have actively held large-scale international sports events. In addition to hoping to gain competitive benefits, it also focuses on enhancing the country's soft power through sports diplomacy, and is committed to showing a new image of the country's transformation and development. A staff member of the Qatar World Cup Organizing Committee once said that the World Cup usually does not bring direct economic profits, but more intangible profits. Such as the promotion of national brand value, and the promotion of tourism.
