| Additional information |
Issued by the Qatar Central Bank to mark the 2022 FIFA World Cup — the first held in the Middle East — this coin entered circulation as Qatar faced sustained international scrutiny over labor conditions in stadium construction and the controversial awarding of hosting rights by FIFA in 2010. The decision to hold matches in November and December, rather than the traditional June–July window, disrupted the European club calendar for the first time in the tournament's history.
