Yes, the World Cup will take place next year in Qatar, of course, the tournament is always awaited by football lovers from all over the world. On this occasion, I will discuss the rich country that will host the 2022 world cup, namely Qatar.

Qatar is a small country in the Middle East region which is located on the Arabian Peninsula, to the south of Qatar it is directly bordered by Saudi Arabia, while to the west, north and east, it is bordered by the Persian Gulf.

In the 19th century Qatar was under the rule of the Ottoman Caliphate of Turkey, but after the first world war ended, Ottoman power over Qatar passed to the British. This was the impact of the Ottoman defeat in the first world war which required the Ottomans to hand over the power of several regions in the Middle East to the British, in the end on September 1, 1971, Qatar officially declared its independence from Britain, but Qatar's independence was only recognized by the international community on September 1, 1971. September 3, 1971.

The form of government of this country is an absolute monarchy which is a system of government where the King is the ruler as well as the absolute policy maker, besides Qatar, the country that adopts a monarchical government system is Saudi Arabia. Qatar is divided into seven administrative regions. In 2020 the population of Qatar is around 2.7 million people, of which the native population of Qatar is only about 20% and the other 80% are expatriates looking for work from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines to Egypt.

Dhuha is the largest city as well as the capital of Qatar, hundreds of magnificent skyscrapers are a symbol of how rich this country is today. Qatar has been named the richest country in the world, far above other oil-producing countries such as Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. but before the discovery of oil and gas reserves in Qatar this country was classified as poor, the majority of Qatari people's livelihood was looking for pearls.

Therefore, to perpetuate the main livelihood of the Qatari people in the past, an artificial pearl-shaped island was built on the coast of Doha which was named the board or pearl. On this land, super-luxury buildings were built which became an attraction for foreign tourists.

Because of its wealth, several policies can only be found in Qatar, one of which is the cost of free education to universities for Qatari residents, even the Qatari government provides scholarships to anyone from its population who wants to take their education abroad. This country also does not levy any taxes on its residents, this is inseparable from the abundance of oil reserves contained in Qatar.

According to data from BP statistical review of World energy to thousand and two Anne, Qatar has oil reserves of 25.2 billion barrels in 2019. Qatar is capable of producing oil reaching 1.8 million barrels per day, in addition to being awarded with abundant oil reserves. Qatar also has natural gas reserves of 24.7 trillion M3, the third largest in the world after Russia and Iran.

The Qatari government realizes that its oil and gas reserves will gradually run out, therefore in recent years Qatar has started to engage in the tourism business, building various aspects of supporting tourism, ranging from transportation to organizing international events. Qatar has one of the largest airlines in the world, namely Qatar Airways, in addition to benefiting from the airline business itself, Qatar also benefits from the large number of passengers who transit at Hamad International Airport.

In 2019 the number of passengers who transited at the airport reached 35 million passengers, of course the more the number of transit passengers, the greater the income of the Qatari people, in the last few years this country has made a breakthrough by participating in organizing MotoGP, it is not unmitigated to organize MotoGP Qatar is held at night, this is the only MotoGP race held at night, with this event Qatar is able to attract tens of thousands of tourists from other countries to visit their country.

Although these issues arise every year, FIFA remains adamant that the 2022 world cup will still be held in Qatar, the upcoming 2022 world cup is also the first world cup not to be held in summer, the 2022 world cup is planned to be held in November to December.
