World Cup hosting location Qatar , a small country in the Middle East, with an area of only 11,500 square kilometers, which is smaller than Chengdu, but in the 2022 World Cup, it broke many world records.
Since 1930, the World Cup has been held 22 times, and there is an unchanging law in the past 21 World Cups.
No matter where it was held, the host's first battle had a good start.
2022 World Cup opening match started, and Qatar actually lost to South American powerhouse Ecuador with 0:2. This result surprised almost everyone.
Qatar also broke a 92-year world record and became the first host to lose the first game in World Cup history.
What is even more worrying is that Qatar will face the Netherlands and Senegal next, and its strength is far higher than Ecuador.
Some netizens also didn't forget to joke, saying that the first time I saw a rich man, there were times when I was unhappy.
However, for Qatar, it doesn’t matter whether he wins or not, he wants to make friends.
Do you believe it? Qatar invested more than US$200 billion in total to host the 2022 World Cup, the most money spent on the World Cup so far.
Yes, you heard it right. Qatar has invested more than 200 billion US dollars in order to host the World Cup, which is nearly 5 times the total cost of the last seven World Cups.
220 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 1.5 trillion yuan, and it is endless to hold five Beijing Olympics.
However, Qatar is really rich, with an annual per capita income of US$146,000, ranking first in the world.
Although Qatar's oil reserves are not among the top ten in the world, Qatar's king Emir Tamim is a very visionary person, allowing Qatar to make a fortune by relying on the export of liquefied natural gas .
In addition to this, Qatar has a total population of 2.66 million, but more than 2.2 million are from other places. Locals are free of charge for medical care and education. They only need to work 3 hours a day, and they don’t even have to pay for the water, electricity and gas at home.
For the 2022 World Cup, Qatar even spent US$45 billion to build a new Lucerne city 215 kilometers away from the capital Doha.
Investing hundreds of billions of dollars is just to hold a football game. The key is that Qatar's own football level is not high. What is its purpose?
All the advantages of one World Cup are played. Qatar spent 100 billion yuan to host the World Cup, but behind it is a purpose that many people don’t know.
For most people, the 2022 World Cup gives people the feeling that it is just one word, that is, "expensive".
Some netizens even said no exaggeration that Qatar's actual investment in any random shot on TV may be hundreds of millions of dollars.
In this Qatar World Cup, the number of tourists is expected to be 2 million, and Qatar invests more than 100,000 US dollars per tourist on average. Obviously, Qatar cannot recover its costs at all.
Qatar is rich, but it is also quite scheming. Qatar is very clear that oil and gas will always be exhausted, so the Qatar consortium has already begun another layout.
Many people don’t know that Qatar is the largest shareholder of Russian Oil and the largest shareholder of Volkswagen in Germany. It also acquired the Italian luxury brand Valentino .
Qatar spent a lot of money to host the World Cup in order to expand its international influence, so as to find more investment opportunities around the world, make money with money, and get rid of its dependence on energy exports.
It has to be said that in the Middle East, Qatar is one of the rare and visionary countries.
Back to the Qatar World Cup, who do you think can win the championship in the end? I think it is France, what do you think?
