Resumen

El 2 de diciembre de 2010, el mundo del fútbol quedó atónito cuando el pequeño país de Oriente Próximo conocido como el Estado de Qatar (Qatar) obtuvo los derechos para albergar la Copa Mundial de Fútbol Masculino 2022 de la Federación Internacional de Fútbol Asociado (FIFA), a pesar de que su selección nacional nunca se había clasificado para una sola competición mundialista de la FIFA. Lo que hizo que la candidatura de Qatar fuera tan atractiva para la FIFA fue que incluía la construcción de un nuevo aeropuerto, el compromiso de actualizar la infraestructura de transporte público del país, la construcción de nuevas carreteras y autopistas por valor de 20.000 millones de dólares, incluido un puente con el país vecino de Bahréin (el más largo del mundo), la creación de 54 campos de entrenamiento y la apertura de varios hoteles para alojar a los espectadores, los equipos y los cuerpos de prensa y radiodifusión de los diversos países que visitarían el país durante los 29 días de competición. Lo más importante, sin embargo, es que Qatar también aseguró a la FIFA que construiría nada menos que nueve estadios específicos para fútbol/soccer, todos ellos de última generación y equipados con sistemas de refrigeración que ayudarían a aliviar el agobiante calor qatarí, ya que la temperatura media en la península del Golfo ronda los 29 grados centígrados (85 grados Fahrenheit), pero puede alcanzar hasta 45 grados centígrados (113 grados Fahrenheit) durante los meses de verano.
