There have been suspicions on whether Qatar earned hosting rights fairly. An investigation that was done by FIFA reported that Qatar earned hosting rights fairly. This investigation was criticized by Michael J. Garcia.[4] Qatar was also criticized because of the treatment of the foreign workers preparing the World Cup stadiums.[5][6]

Final draw

The final draw was in the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center in Doha, Qatar,[22] on 1 April 2022,[23] 19:00 AST, before the qualifiers finished. The two winners of the inter-confederation play-offs and the winner of the Path A of the UEFA play-offs were not known at the time of the draw.[24]

For the draw, the 32 teams were put into four pots based on their FIFA World Rankings of 31 March 2022.[25] The teams in Pot 1 were the hosts, Qatar (who were automatically seeded as A1) and the best seven teams. The teams in Pot 2 were the next best eight teams, with the next best eight teams into Pot 3. The teams in Pot 4 were the five lowest-ranked teams, the two inter-confederation play-off winners and the UEFA Path A play-off winner. Teams from the same confederation could not be in the same group except UEFA, which allowed maximum two teams in the same group. The Pot 1 teams were automatically seeded as 1.[26] The pots for the draw are shown below.[27]

Marketing

Branding

The official emblem was shown on 3 September 2019 at the Doha Tower, Katara Cultural Village Amphitheatre, Msheireb Downtown Doha, and Zubarah. It is designed to show the tournament trophy, the infinity symbol, and the number "8", which represents the eight host stadiums. It also represents shawls to highlight the tournament's winter scheduling, and has waves showing the desert dunes. The make-up of the emblem's wordmark describes kashida—extending certain parts of characters in Arabic script to give emphasis.[29][30][31]

Mascot

The tournament's official mascot was shown on 1 April 2022, during the group stage draw. Its name is La’eeb, which means "super-skilled player" in Arabic. The official website of FIFA says: "La’eeb will be known for his youthful spirit; spreading joy and confidence everywhere he goes", and the official backstory of the character, published there, says that it comes from a different world where tournament mascots live, "a world where ideas and creativity form the basis of characters that live in the minds of everyone".[32]

Match ball

The official match ball, the "Al Rihla", was shown on 30 March 2022. It was inspired by the culture, architecture, iconic boats and flag of Qatar. In Arabic, the word Al Rihla means “the journey”. The ball was designed with stability as the main focus. It is the first ever official match ball created with water-based glues and inks.

As "the game is getting faster" and "speeds up", Adidas used some new traits, like more speed and improved accuracy of the ball.[33]

Official song

The official song of the tournament is "Hayya Hayya (Better Together)", by Trinidad Cardona, Davido and AISHA, released on 1 April 2022 with the music video.[34]
