FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar

Billions of people will watch the World Cup in Qatar (in 2018, some 3.5 billion people, more than half the world’s adults, watched a portion of the tournament, and more than a billion watched some part of the final). And rivers of money will be spent to persuade those fans to consume various brands of fizzy drinks and glutinous burgers in the name of athletic prowess."
