Qatar is reluctant to agree to moves by FIFA to increase the size of the 2022 World Cup to FIFA’s 48-team this is good news for soccer lovers. This will be increasing more opportunities and more teams playing the big tournament with top teams. Earlier this week the tiny Gulf state was proudly announcing that 90% of the tournament’s infrastructure, would be in place by 2019. In this infrastructure, they include all 8 stadiums and public parks, and fest events area.
The likelihood is that this is beyond the reach of Qatar, even with its vast wealth. FIFA includes all related queries and problems related to the tournament. There’s already been the talk of Iran being used as some kind of accommodation overspill and you would think that 48 teams, instead of the 32 they were expecting, plus all their travelling fans would be too much.
