Qatar has been a part of FIFA since 1974, and it's one of the Gulf states that have been most active in hosting major sporting events. The country has been a regular participant in the World Cup since 2010 and will host the 2022 tournament.
The 2022 World Cup will be the first to be held in the Persian Gulf, and it is expected to bring billions of dollars in revenue to Qatar. The country is also planning a massive new stadium and other infrastructure projects, as well as a new metro system.
Despite these plans, there have been concerns about worker conditions at construction sites, and some have raised concerns about whether Qatar can meet its obligations under labor laws.
