The 2022 World Cup marks the first major world sporting event to be held in the Middle East, and, specifically, religiously devout Qatar. Days before the opening ceremonies the country banned alcohol in stadiums - usually strictly policed in the region, but a quintessential part of the experience for most fans. The event, an investment of roughly $300 billion dollars for the country, brought just over 1.4 million people to watch. And fans got the drama they came for. Qatar lost their own opening game, and massive upset wins from Saudi Arabia, Japan and Morocco. Star player, Lionel Messi, won in the last World Cup match of his career for Argentina against France.
