The 2022 FIFA World Cup is an international football tournament involving the men's national teams of FIFA member associations. The 22nd FIFA World Cup takes place in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022; it is the first World Cup to be held in the Arab and Muslim world and the second to be held entirely in Asia, following the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan. The defending champions are France, who defeated Croatia 4–2 in the 2018 final. With an estimated cost of over $220 billion, it is the most expensive World Cup ever held; this figure is disputed by Qatari officials, including the organization's CEO Nasser Al Khader
, who said the actual cost is $8 billion, and other figures relate to overall infrastructure development since the 2010 FIFA World Cup was awarded to Qatar.
