Very soon what would be the most popular and televised sporting event in the world begins. Nothing more and nothing less than the World Cup. Fans from all over the world will gather for the sole purpose of enjoying the football festival that takes place every four years.
The World Cup fever is not a small thing and despite the fact that preparations are still under way, there is a beautiful party atmosphere and anxiety because everything starts as soon as possible. One of the most striking things for this World Cup year is the venue. Qatar (or Qatar in English) will receive hundreds of thousands of fans from around the world and even with the political, racial and humanitarian issues that are pressing in that country, everything is being worked on to make it happen.
The state of qatar , as is its official name, is a peninsular country – that is, its territory is almost entirely surrounded by water – located in western Asia, on the Arabian Peninsula, and bordering only Saudi Arabia. The rest of its surface extends over the Persian Gulf and its capital is Doha where two of the eight World Cup stadiums were built.
Qatar follows the time zone UTC+3 , known as “Moscow time” and which is adjusted from London Greenwich Mean Time three additional hours. In other words, the time in the Middle Eastern country is six hours ahead of the West.
Qatar, which only gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1971, has Islam as its predominant religion. The country’s language is Arabic (or Qatari Arabic), but English is also quite common on its territory. The Qatari population exceeds 2.8 million people. In addition, the country is located in an arid region with little vegetation and a predominantly desert climate. The temperature in the country varies between 14°C and 45°C.
