This will be the World Cup back to Asia again after 20 years.
There are also many "firsts" at the same time: the first time is held in the Gulf region, the first time is held by a country that has never entered the World Cup, and the first time is held in the winter of the Northern Hemisphere...
Messi and Ronaldo's fans may cherish it more - this is most likely their last World Cup competition.

Of course, the previous World Cup in Russia was the most expensive in history, with a total expenditure of US$14 billion.
But compared with this Qatar World Cup, it is really a slim.
Qatar officially announced that the 2022 Qatar World Cup budget is US$220 billion, a large part of which comes from infrastructure construction.
, there is also the same situation as before: the Chinese team missed the World Cup again...
Although the national football team missed the World Cup, China's construction and China's manufacturing are always worthy of pride. Qatar is also active in the figures of many "Chinese teams".
The first one to us was Chinese photovoltaic companies.
Qatar's dream of new energy
Qatar's natural gas reserves rank third in the world, and its proven oil reserves rank 13th in the world. The per capita GDP is about US$70,000 (about 490,000 yuan), is a country that is truly rich in oil.
Although it is a "rich" country that is not short of money, Qatar also hopes to present a completely different look to the world.
● Qatar is the most "rich" country in the Middle East
In order to promote energy transformation, diversified economic development, and enter the ranks of truly developed countries, Qatar plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, significantly reduce carbon emissions of oil and gas resources, and truly turn clean energy into the foundation of the founding of the country.
photovoltaic has become a desert light on the road to chasing dreams in Qatar.
Therefore, even though the oil and gas resources are abundant, Qatar has spared no expense to install 2 million solar panels in the desert 80 kilometers west of the capital Doha, with a total investment of US$417 million in the photovoltaic project.
● The huge Qatar photovoltaic project
The question is here, which global photovoltaic industry is stronger?
There is only one answer: China!
After ten years of hard work, China's photovoltaic industry has long gone from being restricted by others to being the world's leading.
China's photovoltaic module production has ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years, polysilicon production has ranked first in the world for 11 consecutive years, new installed capacity has ranked first in the world for 9 consecutive years, and cumulative installed capacity has ranked first in the world for 7 consecutive years.
Therefore, Qatar chose to cooperate with Chinese companies in photovoltaic projects without any suspense.
htmlOn October 18, the Alcaza 800 MW photovoltaic power plant, which is a general contractor of Chinese companies, held a commissioning ceremony.

All design and construction was undertaken by China Power Construction Group Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd. It is expected to provide Qatar with about 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity every year, while meeting the annual electricity consumption of about 300,000 households and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 900,000 tons/year.
In the next two years, Qatar hopes to achieve a photovoltaic power generation capacity of more than 1,600 megawatts, or even 5,000 megawatts, and the task is handed over to China again.
● In order to cooperate with the environmental protection strategy, Qatar Petroleum Company was renamed Qatar Energy Company, and also replaced the new logo
The achievements made are visible to people. Qatar is eager to show the world its grand commitment to achieving the world's first "carbon neutrality" World Cup by holding this World Cup, and also pave the way for the popularization of new energy.
The Qatar World Cup in 2022 is the "stand-setting" of Chinese companies and the Qatar government "sings the opera".
Made in China at the World Cup in Qatar
Not long ago, the Qatar Central Bank launched the World Cup commemorative banknotes. The main pattern is the main stadium of this World Cup, Lucerne Stadium, which was constructed by China Railway Construction International Group.
The design inspiration for Lucerne Stadium is derived from the traditional Qatar lantern patterns and dates. The overall shape is like a golden sea bowl, hence the name "Big Golden Bowl".
● "Big Golden Bowl"
"Big Golden Bowl" has a construction area of 195,000 square meters, and can accommodate 80,000 people to watch the game at the same time. The semi-finals, finals and closing ceremonies of this World Cup will be held here.
In fact, this is the second time that the "Big Golden Bowl" has appeared on the currency of Qatar.
In December 2020, the new version of the 10 yuan banknote issued by Qatar was printed with the "Big Gold Bowl".
● Qatar new version of 10 yuan banknote
"Big Gold Bowl" is the world's largest, most complex system, the highest design standards, the most advanced technology, and the highest internationalization of the double-layer cable net roof single building. It is made in China from the inside to the outside.
In order to cooperate with Qatar's "green and low-carbon" commitment, the gymnasium has fully met the global sustainable development evaluation system (GSAS) five-star certification standard. In the words of FIFA, it is "setting a model of green buildings."
● The Lucerne Stadium under construction is under construction
Because of the adoption of a number of environmentally friendly designs, the "Big Gold Bowl" saves 40% of the industrial water in the construction of the "Big Gold Bowl", and the recycled water is used to irrigate the plants around the site.
There is a super LED screen with an area of 30 square meters in the center of the venue. In order to adapt to the environment of high temperature and strong sunshine in Qatar, Chinese companies have also made masks and rapid cooling designs, which not only allows the audience to see the large screen at 360 degrees without blind spots, but also ensure the stability and safety of the equipment after long-term operation.
As for the various network equipment and communication facilities in the stadium, all of them are made in China.
In addition to the "Big Golden Bowl", the eight nearby stadiums that focus on "green and environmental protection" are all made by Chinese companies.
is also imported from China.
"China team" is in such a "ubiquitous" way to deeply participate in the Qatar World Cup and help Qatar realize its dream.
There is also a city called Yiwu that helped Qatar create dreams.
except for the football team, China did not go to
Everything else went to
During the 2010 South Africa World Cup, China made in and out of the arena was already spread all over Yiwu.
So many years have passed, and this situation has not changed, and the figure of the "Yiwu Team" is even more dense.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Yiwu exported related sports goods and equipment at US$65.54 million; in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Yiwu exported related supplies at US$160 million; during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Yiwu exported more than US$1 billion.
so much that Bai Yansong couldn't help but complain when he explained: Except for the football team, China has not gone to everything else.
Before the opening of the Qatar World Cup, businessmen from all over the world had placed flags, whistles, trumpets, hats and other World Cups in Yiwu online and offline, with unprecedented grand occasions.
The happiest thing is Qatar sports goods merchants, making money and making money.
A football from Yiwu, the purchase price is 51 Qatar Riyal (about RMB 100) , and it can be sold for 79 Qatar Riyal (about RMB 160) .
jerseys are more expensive and more popular. Each piece is about 10 Qatar Riyal (about 20 yuan) , and the price is basically 180 Qatar Riyal (about 350 yuan) . The products of the "Yiwu Team" are cheap and good, which makes the Qataris excited and even flew directly to Yiwu to "grab" the supply of goods.
"Yiwu Team" is also very powerful. Almost every manufacturer that produces sports goods has to work overtime until late at night. Football exports alone can reach 1 million.
At the same time, due to the surge in customers in the Middle East, the original best-selling "Hercedes" Cup, the customer designated to change it to "Local Gold" model. The clever "Yiwu Team" took the opportunity to change many products to gold, and the supply was in short supply.
● Yiwu workers who are creating the "Rich Golden Hercules" trophy
During the epidemic, Chinese fans may not be able to watch the game in person, but there is another "Chinese team" who represents China to Qatar and has lived there for 15 years.
In order to wish the World Cup success, the Chinese giant pandas "Four Seas" and "Beijing" took a special plane to Qatar. They will live in the oldest park in Qatar - Haul Park - for 15 years.
● Qatar held a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the "Sihai" and "Beijingjing"
"Sihai" and "Beijingjing" are the first pair of giant pandas welcoming in the Middle East. I just don't know if there is fresh bamboo to eat in Qatar, located in the tropical region...
However, I believe that the "rich" Qatar people will definitely not treat them unfairly, and I also wish them to live a healthy and healthy life with the friendship of the Chinese people.
We are very happy to see the "Chinese team" composed of China's construction and manufacturing industry active in the green field of the World Cup, but we are more looking forward to seeing the heroic posture of the national football team. The saying "Come on, the national football team" is really tired.
Finally, we still make a wish, hoping that one day, Bai Yansong's self-deprecation can become:
, including the Chinese team, everyone who can go there!
