Al Jazeera answers key questions with the first Middle East football tournament in less than a year.

Qatar 2022, the first World Cup football match in the Middle East, has just 12 months left.

The next World Cup opening match, presented in Qatar in 2010, will be played on November 18, 2022, at the Al-Bayt Stadium in Al-Khor, north of the Doha capital.

Al Jazeera answers some of the key questions related to the tournament and Qatar’s portfolio:

What are the dates of the competition?

The tournament kicks off on November 21 next year with the final on December 18, which is also Qatar’s national day.

Which teams are eligible for Qatar 2022?

So far, 13 teams have participated in the World Cup, including those in Qatar.

Argentina
Belgium
Brazil
Croatia
Denmark
England
France
Germany

When will the race take place?

The major screening will take place on April 1, 2022. It will take place in the capital Qatar Doha and the 32 countries to be classified into eight categories.

How many stadiums are ready?

The 2022 World Cup will be played in eight stadiums.

Qatar has already set up five stadiums with the other two participating in their first match of the upcoming Arab Cup 2021 which kicks off on November 30.

Lusail Stadium, where it will be played for the last time, will be the last to open next year.

What challenges did the World Cup face in Qatar?

Since its inception, Qatar has been embroiled in corruption and business fraud.

In addition, the extreme heat in the summer months in Qatar means that game dates have been changed to November and December which has also forced players around the world to change their schedule.

Recently, concerns over the lack of accommodation have also been raised due to the large number of fans who come to play.

Qatar’s treatment of migrants and its human rights record have been closely monitored ever since it was given the opportunity to host the tournament.

Is there a team that can boycott the tournament?

Earlier this year, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark and Germany staged a series of public demonstrations against Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers.

However, there was no threat of a boycott.

In exactly 365 days from now, our national team will play the opening game of the 2022 World Cup 🏆

However, robust health and safety measures, the availability of vaccines and further testing have confirmed that the numbers remain low.

Currently, the number of cases reported daily is less than 150.

Should fans receive the COVID vaccine to participate in Qatar 2022?

Yes, Qatar allows people with enough vaccines to take it to the World Cup.

It’s one year to # Qatar2022 it starts, new @forgiveness The report shows that the exploitation of employees continues even after the changes have taken place. Many workers remain under arrest, deaths have not been investigated. THE richest country in the world CAN do this, and football players must be compelled to do so https://t.co/siE3SR9gUG
