Why is the World Cup 2022 in Qatar taking place in winter?
The World Cup 2022 schedule brings numerous innovations compared to the old finals. The biggest change is certainly the fact that the World Cup does not take place in summer, as usual, but in winter.
The reason for this is the high temperatures that prevail in the desert state of Qatar in summer. In order to protect the health of the players, officials, and fans, FIFA decided to move the finals from summer to winter.
World Cup Qualification 2022
From November 21 to December 18 of that year, a total of 32 nations are looking for a new world champion at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, who will succeed the defending champion France.
The 22nd finals in FIFA history have already secured their place in history. This has a lot to do with the assignment to the World Cup 2022 venue Qatar, which made it necessary for the first time to host a World Cup at the end of the year and not in the summer. There are also a few new features in the 2022 World Cup qualification.
On this page, we mainly deal with the World Cup 2022 qualification in Europe, which will take place from March 2021 to November 2021. All information about the World Cup qualifications on other continents such as South America or Africa can be found here.
World Cup Qualification Starts in Europe
Europe will not start qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar until March 2021. Autumn 2020 is reserved for the Nations League. In addition to qualifying for the World Cup, March 2021 also serves as preparation for the European Championship  – the planned final round in 2020 will not take place until summer 2021 due to the corona pandemic.Â
The World Cup playoffs, in which the remaining three European starting places will be awarded, are scheduled for March 2022.
The finals themselves will start on November 21, 2022, and will run until December 18, 2022.
