is less than a month away, and the quadrennial World Cup will be officially staged in Qatar . There are so many differences in this World Cup - the first time it was held in the Gulf region and the first time it was held in the Northern Hemisphere winter, and it was also the World Cup back to Asia 20 years later.
As the World Cup gets closer, I believe many fans are becoming more and more impatient. Fortunately, there are still many suspense worth looking forward to in this month, accompanying everyone to wait for the arrival of the World Cup.
Is there any surprise in the rosters of each team? How many other big names will be absent due to injuries?

Countdown to Qatar World Cup opening a week ago, the top 32 will announce their squads one after another, and this is often accompanied by some controversy.
For example, before the last World Cup in Russia, Morata lost to the Spanish roster, Benzema lost to the French roster, Sane lost to the German roster... These controversies often accompany the entire World Cup and even become "old accounts".
In addition, there has always been no shortage of foreign players in the Chinese Super League in the World Cup. Whether Shandong Taishan foreign players Sun Zhunhao , Shanghai Shenhua foreign players Bassogo and others can be selected as they wish, is also a suspense that can be expected for Chinese Super League fans.
Just after halfway through October, there were two more big names absent from the World Cup: Kante, who continued to play and stop, had no choice but to withdraw from the World Cup due to a hamstring injury; and the military city battle ended with Jota carried out on the stretcher, and Klopp published a document saying goodbye to the World Cup.
This also made France and Portugal, which were already suffering from the loss of staff, face the problem of changing courses again.
In fact, many popular people including Uruguay , Brazil , Argentina , England, Netherlands , it has become the norm to face reduction in staff. Although the World Cup roster has expanded to 26 players for the first time, the number obviously cannot make up for the quality.

has sold 2.89 million tickets
Qatar will hold 64 World Cup matches in 8 stadiums. Associated Press said that 2.89 million tickets have been sold in the Qatar World Cup, with 7% of the spare seats left. FIFA event director Colin Smith said at a press conference that there will be more tickets available before the event officially begins on November 20. According to tradition, World Cup tickets are often released one after another, because sponsors and FIFA stakeholders will give up some of the tickets, put them on the market and sell them to fans.
According to ticket statistics, currently the top three overseas sales are ticket buyers in the United States, Saudi and the United Kingdom, while Mexico is the largest corporate hospitality ticket market outside Qatar, and fans in Argentina, France, Brazil and Germany are also very enthusiastic. In addition, the sales packages for hotel tickets for this World Cup also set a record, with a total of 240,000 units sold so far, of which 63% were purchased by international tourists.
The Qatar World Cup lasts 29 days and is expected to have 1.2 million international tourists coming to this 11,000 square kilometers Middle Eastern country, which puts pressure on the organizers on tourism reception - requiring additional accommodation. In addition to the existing 2 million night accommodation facilities, Qatar will also mobilize hotels, apartments, campgrounds and even cruise ships to supply another 30,000 rooms.
Middle East first pair! Two Chinese giant pandas arrived at the capital of Qatar Doha
In the morning of the 19th local time, two Chinese giant pandas "Sihai" and "Beijing" arrived at Hamad International Airport in Doha, the capital of Qatar.
According to the cooperation agreement on giant panda protection research reached by China and Qatar, these two giant pandas will live in Qatar in the next 15 years, which is the first pair of giant pandas to be welcomed by the Middle East.
It is reported that "Sihai" is a 3-year-old female giant panda, and "Jingjing" is a 4-year-old male giant panda. They will then be transferred to the giant panda hall 50 kilometers north of Doha, and will be quarantined for three weeks after arriving.
Giant Panda Pavilion was specially built by Qatar for two Chinese giant pandas. It has complete functions to ensure the comfortable life of giant pandas.The giant panda hall is expected to be open to the public on the eve of the opening of the Qatar World Cup, which will also add more Chinese elements to this World Cup.
What does the World Cup look like in the winter?
Qatar belongs to the Middle East, and this geographical location is in the desert. In summer, the whole season is extremely hot and dry. At the highest temperature, it can reach a high temperature of 50℃. In such high temperature weather, athletes are very uncomfortable during exercise.
Therefore, 2022 Qatar World Cup was chosen to be held in the winter, which is also the main reason why FIFA was able to ask the Qatar Football Association to put the World Cup in November.
In fact, holding Football World Cup in winter is not a challenge, but also a new test for players' physical fitness. Although the Qatar World Cup is the first World Cup to be held in winter, this event also makes the outside world full of expectations, because climate issues and geographical differences are a fact that everyone has to accept. On the other hand, as the world's most influential event, the country with strong strength also wants to expand its understanding and understanding of the host countries through the World Cup. In addition, the World Cup is only held every four years and the competition is so large that even if there is a jet lag, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of fans, so this is the charm of football.
In the past, it was barbecue and beer accompanied by the World Cup in midsummer. Now, in winter, hot pot and white wine welcome the arrival of the World Cup, which will open an unprecedented new experience.
