World Cup countdown

Exactly today, the football world is setting the countdown clock for the biggest sporting event on earth: the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. For the first time this event will not be held in the summer period, plus also for the first time one Arab nation will host the best 32 teams in 4 years time. The first winter competition is going to start on 21 November while the final will be played 18 December, on the National day of the country. For 28 days (and nights), the twenty second edition is going to be played on 8 stadiums, which most of them are under construction and have to end by 2020. However, there is one interesting fact: these venues are going to be so close to each other (around 50 kilometers), so that spectators can attend more matches in one day. The qualifying draw have to take place in July 2019.
