The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be the first played so late in a calendar year. All previous editions, dating back to the inaugural event in Uruguay in 1930, were played between May and July, when most of the world’s major domestic soccer league seasons had been completed. Organisers of the 2022 event scheduled it late in the year, when major domestic leagues are usually running, to avoid extreme mid-year heat.
