Global soccer body FIFA has set up a joint venture with 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar as part of its effort to streamline organisation of the tournament, it said on Tuesday. FIFA and Qatar announced today a joint venture to deliver the 2022 FIFA #WorldCup. "FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 LLC" will be responsible for the planning and delivery of operations and services for the tournament. "The joint venture aims to reorganise the way we work at the operational front and avoid inefficiencies," she said. The Qatar tournament is due to take place in November and December 2022 with 32 teams participating, although Infantino has suggested this could be increased to 48.
