It marks the first World Cup to take place in an Arab nation and only the second to be held in Asia after World Cup 2002, which was hosted in Japan and South Korea. This will also be the first time that the event will take place this late during the year, due to the extreme summer climate in Qatar.
The 2022 edition of the competition would be the first-ever winter World Cup, if considered from the northern hemisphere. The World Cup usually takes place in mid-year but when it came to Qatar, an exception just had to be thrown.
As per an estimate, Qatar is spending a whopping $200 billion on infrastructure projects. That’s nearly 10x more than the next most expensive World Cups, Brazil (£11.6 billion) and Russia (£14.2 billion). This is partly because Qatar is building seven brand new stadiums from scratch. It’s also nearly 64x the $3.5 billion South Africa invested in its World Cup. This will make the upcoming event one of the most expensive World Cups in the history of the game.
Only eight stadiums have been lined up by Qatar to host the World Cup which is the lowest number of venues for the World Cup in recent years. In fact, out of all the eight venues selected to host the tournament, only one got revamped completely while seven are being newly constructed in the country.
As per an estimate, the Qatar FIFA 2022 World Cup may well end up receiving a record number of visitors by the time the tournament comes to an end. The country
expects to welcome the largest influx of over 1 million international spectators . It’s estimated that 1,300 incoming flights will land in the country daily throughout the competition. The reason behind this is easy to grasp. Being one of the finest countries in the Middle East, Qatar’s convenient geographic location makes it lie in close proximity to most nations.
Qatar is a small country. It is, in fact, way smaller than the host of the World Cup 2018, Russia. Since the size of the country is so small, commuting from one place to another here is not a big hassle. Host cities like Doha, Lusail, Al Wakrah, and Al Rayyan are located in close proximity to each other. Hence, moving from one venue to the other wouldn’t be a big hassle for travelers. Another interesting fact is the two most remote stadiums of Qatar -- Al Bayt and Al Wakrah -- are only 90 miles apart.
One of the most important points to note about the host nation for FIFA 2022 is the fact that Qatar receives distressingly high temperatures during day times. To tackle the issue, Qatar came up with an audacious solution. For the first time ever, a country is set to host the FIFA World Cup in fully air-conditioned stadiums. All eight venues in Qatar will be fully airconditioned, providing a comfortable viewing experience to fans while making the conditions good enough for players
to perform on the pitch. That translates to roughly 43,560 household air conditioners per stadium or a whole lot of industrial fans.
Not only will Qatar be the first-ever Middle Eastern nation to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022, but it will also be only the second time when the prestigious competition takes centre stage in Asia. The first time it happened was in 2002 when Japan and South Korea co-hosted the FIFA event for the first time in Asia.

The opening ceremonies will happen on Sunday, Nov. 20, at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar.
FIFA announced the official soundtrack for the World Cup earlier this year.
It includes three massive tracks — “Hayya Hayya (Better Together),” “Arhbo” and “Light the Sky” — that will dominate the airwaves during the world’s biggest soccer tournament.

Bernice West, naaswenner van die realiteitsreeks, Maak My Famous, het `n uitdaging aan sosiale media gebruikers gerig. Al wat gebruikers moet doen is om haar te “tag” soos hulle dans op haar weergawe van Lyfie, en die wenner kry ’n kans om dit saam met haar by een van haar konserte te dans op die verhoog.
Skole het nie op hulle laat wag nie en reeds gesorg vir verskeie videos op sosiale media. Haar album, Jona, is deur die loop van 2022 uitgereik en een van die liedjies op die album het egter op ander maniere aandag getrek!
Platebaas van Inhoud Huis Musiek, Johan Vorster, het die gawe om treffers te identifiseer. Hy het die lied, Lyfie, ‘n paar jaar gelede gehoor en geweet daar is iets groter in as wat mense dink!
Bernice staan sinoniem met inspirasie en iemand waarna mense opkyk, insluitend ouer mense. Alhoewel sy haar eie musiek skryf het die platemaatskappy die liedjie aan haar voorgestel met ‘n opname in gedagte. Bernice het die potensiaal gehoor, 100% in die liedjie in gekoop en dit haar eie gemaak! Haar unieke aanslag op die vervaardiging saam met Johan en Robin Kielly het die land aan die dans! Jannes Erasmus noem: “Ons het die duisende Lyfie dans videos op alle sosiale media platforms gesien die afgelope maand en net opnuut besef dat die boodskap van Lyfie soveel hoop aan almal bring wat dit hoor!”
Die lied het alreeds sy verskyning op trefferparades gemaak na aanleiding van stromingsdienste se data en dit is die bewys dat luisteraars dit graag sal wil hoor op radiostasies!
“Ons het die duisende Lyfie dans videos op alle sosiale media platforms gesien die afgelope maand en net opnuut besef dat die boodskap van Lyfie soveel hoop aan almal bring wat dit hoor!”

Baie geluk ook aan ons JvR-hoofleier, Simon van den Berg, wat verkies is om die 64ste Die Burger Jeugleierskonferensie vanaf 11 tot 15 Desember by te woon.
Slegs 50 hoofleiers van skole in die Noord-, Oos- en Wes-Kaap word jaarliks gekies om dié konferensie (in samewerking met die WKOD) by te woon.
Ons is ook trots en opgewonde dat vanjaar se konferensie hier op die Jan van Riebeeck-kampus aangebied word.
Dié 50 jeugleiers sal almal in ons koshuis tuisgaan en verskeie leierskapsessies, aanbiedinge deur top sprekers en sosiale aktiwiteite in ons skoolgebou en Welgemeend geniet. Geniet hierdie besondere geleentheid, Simon!
Hierdie leerderleiers gaan die matriekraad en VRL ondersteun deur spesifiek aan matriekprojekte en -inisiatiewe aandag te gee. Hul tree ook as ons mentors vir die graad 8-leerders op. Hierdie leiers is opgewonde en sien uit om in 2023 hulle idees met die res van die skool te deel. Enige matriekleerder wat ‘n sinvolle impak wil maak, kan hul kom help in die lekker projekte wat hul gaan beplan. Baie geluk en baie sterkte met jul groot taak!

Die Skole Ondersteuningsentrum het onlangs die voorbeeld gebruik: om klein veranderinge aan die manier waarop inhoud oorgedra word te maak, is soos om `n kamer aan `n ou huis aan te bou. Ja, dit lyk goed, en elke kamer het sy funksie en ons doen ons bes met wat ons het. Wanneer jy egter uit die staanspoor en vir ‘n spesifieke doel ‘n nuwe, moderne, ontwerpte huis binnestap, sal jy nie terugtrek na jou ou huis toe nie, maar eerder die ou huis afbreek en van nuuts af bou.
Hoe vernuwe jy drukwerk by jou skool? Werksboeke, addisionele leermateriaal of skryfboeke is `n kopseer vir elke skool. Nie net neem dit ure om dit by die skool te bind nie, maar dit kan ook binne `n paar weke uitmekaar val. Met vandag se tegnologie is die prys vir swart en wit boeke basies dieselfde as vir kleur.
Die bindwerk verseker ook dat jou boeke waaraan jy so hard gewerk het, die hele jaar sal hou!
Raak kreatief met voorblaaie!
Het jy geweet skole kan deesdae die skryfboeke van die leerders laat druk met die skool se kleure op die voorblad? Dit skep nie net eenvormigheid by die skool nie, maar is reeds gelamineer en daarom hoef dié boeke nie oorgetrek te word nie. Die skool kan self besluit hoe breed die lyne moet wees en verkoop dan dié boeke weer aan die leerders as deel van `n fondsinsameling vir die skool.
Die prys vir die boeke hang af van die hoeveelheid boeke wat bestel word. Jy sal nie glo hoe bekostigbaar dit is nie.
Alle grootte boeke is beskikbaar - van die 32-blad tot die 192-blad boeke.
