The 21st FIFA World Cup, an every four years international football competition for the men’s national teams of FIFA member countries, will take place in 2022. The dates are set for 21 November through 18 December 2022 in Qatar.
National organisations had until February 2 to show interest in hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup after the bidding process started in January 2009.
Nine nations initially submitted bids for the FIFA World Cup 2022. Mexico eventually withdrew from the competition, and FIFA rejected Indonesia’s bid in February 2010 because the Indonesian government neglected to submit a letter of guarantee in support of the bid.
Throughout the bidding process, all non-UEFA countries gradually withdrew from the 2022 bid. As a result, four countries eventually submitted bids for the FIFA World Cup in 2022, the United States, Japan, Qatar, and England.
The 22 member federations of FIFA cast their votes at a meeting in Zürich on 2 December 2010 as part of an electronic vote using a show of hands system. Qatar won 18 votes becoming a surprise winner over bids from USA and Australia, who got 12 votes each and Japan with 4 votes only.
Who has won the most cups in Fifa?
The answer is not Messi or Ronaldo, but it is also not Maradona or Pele. The answer is Vicente Del Bosque, who has won nine cups in his career. Del Bosque is a former Spanish footballer who played mainly for Real Madrid during his career as a defender and later became a manager.

The World Cup will be the first one, with 32 teams split into eight groups of four:
