This is the first time in the history of football that a country from the Middle East is hosting the FIFA World Cup and the first time also when the matches are scheduled in winter, not unlike the usual June – July set because in summer the country hits the temperature of 47 C, so it would be very difficult for the players to play matches under these extreme conditions
So, now many of us who are going to Qatar wanted to watch FIFA at our homes. Here is how and where to watch FIFA
