The 2022 Qatar World Cup is going to be the first-ever World Cup held in the Middle East and it has proved to be the most controversial to date.

Based on the projections, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said earlier this week that 5bn people are expected to tune in for the World Cup this winter.

For the 2018 tournament in Russia, the global TV audience was 3.5bn. The rise is likely down to the increasing popularity of football in countries such as Canada and the USA which have huge populations. Just a "great Sport" thought.
