Description
The 2022 FIFA World Cup, held in Qatar from November 20 to December 18, marked the 22nd edition and was the first to be hosted in the Arab and Muslim world. It introduced significant changes, being the final tournament with 32 teams before expanding to 48 teams in 2026. The event strategically shifted to November and December to avoid Qatar's extreme heat. Argentina secured victory, defeating defending champions France 4–2 on penalties after a 3–3 draw in extra time. Kylian Mbappé's historic hat-trick and Lionel Messi's exceptional performance contributed to the poetic nature of the tournament, with Argentina claiming their third title and Messi earning the Golden Ball. Despite records set, Qatar's hosting choice faced criticism for various reasons, including concerns over workers' rights, gender issues, climate challenges, and allegations of corruption.
