During their discussion today, Thursday, in Astana, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed a desire to have the World Cup held in Qatar. Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is the Emir of Qatar.
Moscow is prepared to offer its own expertise in organising a sporting event, the Russian president said.
As you are aware, we have now had the chance to discuss this as well. Putin stated that “we do everything we can with regard to transferring the experience of preparing for the World Cup.”
The Russian president continued by expressing his belief that Qatar will be able to hold the 2022 World Cup at the same high calibre as Russia did in 2018.
I wish you luck in organising this significant event, and I am confident that it will be, he continued.
As the first Arab nation to accept the great football union and for the first time ever in the winter season, Qatar will host the World Cup finals from November 20 to December 18, 2022.
In light of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, the Russian squad will not take part in this competition due to the suspension of its participation in the FIFA qualifying rounds.
It is significant that the 2018 World Cup was held in Russia from June 14 to July 15, and that the French national team won the tournament at the expense of Croatia in the championship match.
