Some of the main challenges faced by Qatar in preparing for the 2022 World Cup include the high cost of construction and infrastructure development, which is estimated to be around $220B. This includes the building of 7 new stadiums and the necessary accommodations for the expected 1.5M attendees. Another significant challenge has been the issue of migrant worker rights and safety, with over 7,000 workers having died during the construction process.
