History will be made at the 2022 Qatar World Cup due to the increased involvement of women as officials. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has released a list of 129 referees who will officiate at the 2022 World Cup, six of whom are women.

Specifically, there are 36 main referees, 69 assistant referees, and 24 Video Assistant Referee (VAR) officials. Three female referees will serve as main referees: Stephanie Frappart (France), Salima Mukansanga (Rwanda), and Yoshimi Yamashita (Japan). Three others, Neuza Back (Brazil), Karen Diaz Medina (Mexico), and Kathryn Nesbitt (United States), will be assistant referees.

Qatar will spend over US$220 billion on the upcoming 2022 World Cup. The cost of the 2022 World Cup in the Middle Eastern country is the most expensive in the world. Qatar expects a US$20 billion economic boost from hosting the world's most prestigious football tournament.

The announcement of Qatar as the host of the 2022 World Cup in 2010 was controversial. FIFA was accused of receiving bribes from Qatar.
