TIL Desk Sports/ Midfielder Anirudh Thapa feels the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is a gilt-edged opportunity for football fans in India to experience the greatest spectacle that the sport can offer. The 2022 edition will only be the second time the FIFA World Cup will be held in Asia.
The first time was back in 2002 when South Korea and Japan were the hosts. However, this time around, the tournament will be easily accessible for fans from India, given the proximity between the two countries and the cordial relations the two countries share.
Thapa, himself, is keen to travel to Qatar and watch the matches. The midfielder hopes that his footballing commitments would not keep him from doing so, given that two of football’s biggest stars are likely to play their ‘final’ World Cup in 2022.
Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will be 37 and Argentine sensation Lionel Messi will be 35 when the tournament kicks off on November 21, 2022. Thapa does not want to miss the chance to watch the two legends play live on the sport’s grandest stage.
