That looks distant but it\u2019s not. We are jumping in with you to ensure a wall to wall coverage of next year\u2019s event which will run from November 21 to December, 2022.<\/p>\n

Across all platforms, print, radio, television and online, we are going to give you a front row seat on the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar while also looking backwards.<\/p>\n

Our community will be able to understand the World Cup beyond goals and winners as we dig into the very foundations of football and Fifa as an institution.<\/p>\n

You are going to be able to appreciate what makes Fifa and the World Cup tick and how it has evolved from its nappies to being the most lucrative event.<\/p>\n

Just to understand the World Cup\u2019s impact, we promise you, you will be hard-pressed to find any bigger story or news than it.<\/p>\n

The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet.<\/p>\n

In the football world, every injury, dip in form and classy performance will be tagged to Qatar2022. Will he recover in time to help his country? The questions will be plenty.<\/p>\n

For Ugandans who plan to travel to Doha, this will be your guide on where, who, what, when and how.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to start saving those pennies for this most unique of World Cups \u2013 the first to be held in the Arab world with champions France among the favourites.<\/p>\n

It will be the second World Cup held entirely in Asia after the 2002 tournament was held in South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n

Due to Qatar\u2019s intense summer heat, this World Cup will be held from late-November to mid-December, making it the first tournament not to be held in May, June, or July; it is to be played in a reduced timeframe of around 28 days.<\/p>\n

You want to be part of this, surely. We are going to enjoy this together.<\/p>\n
