Also Qatar Airways agreed to sponsor heavily.

Oh I see. Well that explains how Qatar also played in the UEFA championships, which Qatar Airways also sponsored.

Pretty sure my son's U15 team just played them at an EDP showcase this weekend. They seemed a lot older, but they sponsored, so it's okay.
Looks like some good weather coming up for an international soccer tournament!

This is the first answer. Also, the last answer.
Qatar was going to be in the Copa America but due to covid they were not invited. Qatar hosts the world cup so that means they don't have to go through qualifying which means they would play 0 competitive games in 2 years. These types of tournaments will get them ready for the World cup.

It’s actually really nice in Saudi/Kuwait/Qatar etc in the winter. Once May hits it starts getting balls hot.

Fall 2022: 1st game 11/21 - 12/18 final. Purportedly, not so bad late fall temps average in the mid 80s F.
