Here are some of the differences BBC Sport thinks we can expect when the 2050 tournament gets under way. China 2050 will take place across June and July, with the final taking place on 30 July. Indeed, it is official policy to achieve President Xi Jinping's "three wishes" - that China should qualify for, host and win the men's World Cup by 2050. The most probable scenario is that China will have already hosted the World Cup once by then. Competing in sporting events in these types of conditions will be fraught with dangers, including heat stroke, heat cramps and heat exhaustion.
