Qatar, Doha – The 2022 FIFA World Cup for men is rapidly approaching. The first match begins on November 20, over 12 years after Qatar was started hosting rights for the tournament.
The event will feature 32 teams and draw more than 1.2 million tourists to Qatar, which will be the first Middle Eastern country to hold football’s largest championship. The Visitors will really enjoy the Matches at Qatar’s stadiums.
Female referees and 26-man squads are among the firsts at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Use Of Offside Detection Technique
FIFA, football’s world governing body, stated in July that a semi-automated offside technology would be used at the World Cup to aid in making quick and accurate offside calls.
A player is considered to be offside if “any portion of the head, body, or feet is in the opponents’ half (except the halfway line) and any part of the head, body, or feet is closer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent.”
To track the movements of players, the device employs a sensor in the ball and a limb-tracking camera system. The data will be used to put 3D visuals on stadium screens to help supporters and viewers at home comprehend the referee’s decision.
Substitutions in Fifa world cup 2022
Teams will be permitted five substitutes per game, up from three in the previous World Cup in Russia in 2018.
The International Football Association Board, football’s rule-making body, introduced the regulation in 2020 following “a global examination of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on football as well as representations from numerous important stakeholders from across the football community.”
If a World Cup game goes into overtime, one more substitution will be permitted.
Over the last two years, several football leagues, including Spain’s La Liga and Major League Soccer in the United States, have implemented the change.
Fifa world cup Launch in November
In contrast to previous tournaments, Qatar 2022 will take place in November and December.
Previously, the World Cup was always held in the summer of the Northern Hemisphere, usually in June and July. The adjustment was done to avoid excessive temperatures in Qatar, which can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) during that time period.
Temperatures are expected to fluctuate between 14 and 31 degrees Celsius during the tournament (57F to 88F).
Squad lists have been expanded this Fifa world cup
In November, participating teams will name squads of up to 26 players, three more than were permitted during the fifa World Cup in Russia.
According to FIFA, the modification was decided due to the tournament’s “unusual timing” in November and delays caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
The preliminary World Cup roster list was also increased from 35 to 55 players.
Female Referees in Fifa world cup 2022
For the first time in men’s World Cup history, three women have been included among the 36 referees chosen for Qatar 2022.
Stephanie Frappart of France, Yoshimi Yamashita of Japan, and Salima Mukansanga of Rwanda have all previously officiated at men’s tournaments such as the UEFA Super Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.
“Having women referees in that country is a big signal from FIFA and the authorities,” Frappart added. “I’m not a feminist speaker, but if this can bring about change…”
Three other women will be among the 69 assistant referees, joining them.
The most ‘compact’ World Cup ever
Qatar will be the smallest country to host FIFA’s showpiece tournament, with an area of just over 11,500 square kilometres (4,440 square miles) and a population of roughly 2.9 million.
All eight stadiums are within a 50-kilometer (31-mile) radius of Doha, Qatar’s capital. Most days during the group stages will contain up to four games.
While Qatar and FIFA claim that the tournament’s “compact” structure will allow people to watch numerous matches per day, critics worry that an inflow of more than 1.2 million people might cause considerable traffic congestion, making it more difficult for people to move across the country.
“Having four matches in a day is a difficulty in a city like Doha,” Abdulaziz Ali Al-Mawlawi, chairman of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, stated last month. “… Of course, we anticipate traffic congestion on the roads.”
Schools in Qatar will be closed during the World Cup, and workplace hours will be curtailed.
