Qatar Bids For 2022 World Cup With Eco-Friendly Stadiums

Even with the 2012 World Cup games currently going on, countries are already lining up to bid for the 2022 games.

The country of Qatar has officially placed their bid for the 2022 World Cup, citing their new solar powered stadiums as one of the many reasons for their country to host the worldwide soccer competition.

Eleven countries submitted bids for the 21st and 22nd World Cup, and the Qatar bid, which we saw over at Designboom this morning, is the first ever from a Middle Eastern country. If they win the bid, Qatar would build three brand new stadiums and update two existing ones in order to host the games.
