High hopes of England have vanished on today’s draw of the forthcoming FIFA Football World Cup<\/a> hosts<\/a>, with Russia getting the event for 2018. More surprise was caused by Qatar<\/a> which will be hosting the 2022 World Cup: With an area of 11,437 sq km and a population of approximately 1.7 million people, by far the smallest World Cup host in Fifa’s history.
\nIn fact, Qatar is so small that we didn’t even bother to put up an individual map for Quatar in the Worldmapper World Population Atlas<\/a>, but merged it with Saudi Arabia and Bahrain<\/a> (Russia has its own map though, despite beating England’s bid<\/a>).
