Factbox: Qatar's construction plan for the World Cup | Reuters

Qatar on Thursday won the right to host the World Cup finals in 2022, the first time the world's largest soccer tournament will be held in an Arab country.

Doubts linger over whether Qatar will be able to handle an influx of about 400,000 fans, plus the 32 competing teams and a huge media presence.

To ease concerns about a lack of infrastructure, Qatar is looking to spend some $100 billion over the next five years, according to some estimates.
