The correct answer is   option 2  i.e. Qatar.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup was held in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022, making it the first World Cup ever hosted in the Middle East and an Arab nation. Due to Qatar’s extreme summer heat, it was also the first World Cup played in November–December instead of the traditional June–July window. The tournament featured matches in eight stadiums across five cities, with Doha as the central hub. Qatar’s compact geography allowed for easy travel between venues. The event was notable for its high-tech infrastructure, cultural showcases, and for hosting the final World Cup with 32 teams.
