The 2022 FIFA World Cup took place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18, 2022. This tournament was notable for being the first World Cup held in the Middle East and the first to occur in November and December, rather than the traditional June and July. Eight stadiums across five cities hosted the matches, with Lusail Iconic Stadium being the largest venue. The event featured 32 national teams competing for the championship, culminating in the final match where Argentina emerged victorious, claiming their third World Cup title.
