The FIFA World Cup is arguably the biggest sporting event on earth. This book is the first to focus on the business and management of the World Cup, taking the reader from the initial stages of bidding and hosting decisions, through planning and organisation, to the eventual legacies of the competition. The book introduces the global context in which the World Cup takes place, surveying the history and evolution of the tournament and the geopolitical background against which bidding and hosting decisions take place. It examines all the key issues and debates which surround the tournament, from governance and corruption to security and the media, and looks closely at the technical processes that create the event, from planning and finance to marketing and fan engagement. Analysis of the Women’s World Cup is also embedded in every chapter, and the book also considers the significance of World Cup tournaments at age-group level. No sport business or management course is complete without some discussion of the FIFA World Cup, so this book is essential reading for any student, researcher or sport business professional looking to fully understand global sport business today.

A total of 32 teams will compete for the title, with 64 matches taking place across eight stadiums in the country. The World Cup will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022. It will be the first World Cup held in the Middle East and the first World Cup held in an Islamic country. Qatar was selected as the host country by FIFA's Executive Committee on December 2, 2010. There is no denying that Qatar is a deserving host country. It has the financial resources to build the infrastructure needed to host a World Cup, and it has a proven track record of delivering large-scale events, such as the 2006 Asian Games and the 2009 Gulf Cup of Nations. There are many star players who will be looking to shine on the world stage in 2022. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Sadio Mane are just some of the big names who will be hoping to lead their teams to glory. However, there will also be a number of young players who will be looking to make a name for themselves at the World Cup. Qatar will be hoping to make a good impression as hosts, but they will also be aware of the controversy surrounding their selection as hosts. Nonetheless, the World Cup is sure to be an event to remember. So mark your calendars and get ready for some world-class soccer action! I grew up playing soccer and I still play and coach my kids soccer team and I am a big fan of the game. As a software and data engineer, I wanted to use my technical skills and my knowledge and experience accumulated over the years to write a data driven book about the World Cup and give back to the beautiful game. In this book, I cover the upcoming world cup 2022 with concise information about the Host, the schedule, the teams, the groups, the young stars, the top players, AI based prediction about the winner, the golden boot, golden ball, past world cup history and stats, data analytics about world cup, world cup records, etc. Read on.....
