The document summarizes FIFA World Cup 2022. It discusses that Qatar was awarded hosting rights in 2022 but this choice was controversial as Qatar is not a traditional soccer power and has very hot weather. There are also allegations the vote was fixed and workers building infrastructure are being exploited. FIFA is facing criticism and calls to revote or change the location due to these issues.
