• The prospect of new hotels and stadiums

This new construction will provide many jobs for the local population, as well as a major boost to Qatar's tourism industry. In addition, many of these stadiums will be built from recycled materials and natural resources that are native to Qatar. This means that not only will there be a positive economic impact on Qatar, but also a positive environmental impact.

• The influx of fans from around the world

One of the major benefits of hosting a FIFA world cup is that it draws in an international audience of fans. This means that, for example, when England hosted and won in 1966, tourists from all over Europe came to visit. Qatar's tourism industry will also be positively impacted by hosting this event.

• New airport upgrades

In other positive news, Qatar has announced plans to make huge upgrades to Hamad International Airport in anticipation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The airport will be undergoing a $6 billion renovation and expansion project which includes increasing its capacity from 25 million passengers per year to 60 million. Qatar Airports Company CEO Rashed Al-Roumi said that the first phase of this upgrade is set for completion in 2019 with the second phase set for 2020.

• Ticket prices are set to plummet

The Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee has announced that they will be lowering ticket prices to help maximize attendance at this summer's World Cups. The new pricing structure is aimed at making seats more accessible to those who cannot afford it, such as children and the economically disadvantaged. This is great news for prospective attendees who were looking for a cheaper alternative to previous world cups. One of the most anticipated events of this summer is finally within reach for those who may not have been able to afford it before.

There are no concerns about weather conditions

It has been announced that Qatar will be running air-conditioned stadiums to ensure players and fans stay cool. The new stadiums will also have cooling pads under seats and ice vests for those in attendance.
