India’s contribution to the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup The Indian community’s contribution to the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be the shortest in FIFA history as well as the first to be held in the Middle East and the Arab world, is enormous. Qatar 2022 will be the shortest FIFA World Cup in history, lasting 29 days, with the tiny Middle Eastern country hosting the mega event at eight venues: Khalifa International, Al Janoub, Educational City, Al Rayyan, Al Bayt, Al Thumama, Stadium 974, and Lusail Stadium.
