Football has always been a western sport. The game, despite enjoying great popularity in Asian countries, has all of its winners from Europe or South America in its 92-year history. It is quite natural that the West has been pulling strings for this great game. It was however for the first time that an Asian country stamped its mark on the greatest sport.
Qatar not only spent a combined amount of the last ten world cups expenditure but also did it in their own way. The conservative nation did not budge to Western countries’ requests for rainbow flags and alcohol availability. It was for the first time that an Asian country hosted such a big event without walking the line of Western ideology. When the dust settles on the great footballing extravaganza, Qatar’s financial might would rise the highest among the huge number of achievements that the FIFA World Cup 2022 managed to earn.
