Qatar Russia 2018 and 2022. Yesterday they made the headquarters of the world after Brazil and the surprise was undoubtedly the choice of Russia as a venue for 2018.
It was an open secret that Qatar would host the 2022 World Cup, but not much trust in Russia. The nomination of Portugal and Spain Iberian seemed to stay firm with headquarters in infrastructure and football tradition, but could not be: for the first time the world will play in a country in Eastern Europe. Gone, as well as in Spain and Portugal Applications from Holland and Belgium and England.
Qatar as left no chance to applications from Japan, Australia, USA and Korea. Be the first time that a World Cup is played in the Middle East.
What is striking about both sites is the lack of football tradition of both countries on a selection: Russia never exceeded the first phase of World Cup (where the Soviet Union won the fourth place in the England World '66) and Qatar did not qualify for a Cup ever World.
