For now, we’ll provide an overview of what’s to come. We’ll release several announcements at the start of the tournament and throughout the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM. These announcements will offer the details you need to make the most of your FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM experience in Upland. 

World Cup Village and Other Locations

The World Cup Village in Upland’s Qatar will welcome fans from all 32 countries (and beyond). In the World Cup Village, players will visit Lusail Stadium and the eight unique shops loaded with FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM items for every match. Also, World Cup Shops in four additional cities, including Rio, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Queens, will offer unique items for those looking for a little FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM excitement outside of Qatar.

Note: Qatar is not a traditional city opening like we’ve seen with other Upland cities. Properties will not be openly available for minting. However, the properties and structures (including Lusail Stadium) will be awarded to players during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM as prizes for various activities and challenges.

The Upland team went all out on FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM designs, giving everyone a great chance to “own their colors” for their country and favorite teams. Items include Block Explorers for all 32 national teams, country-based Legits and Outdoor Decor, and Official World CupTM historical collectibles from previous tournaments. We’re also excited to introduce “Spotlight” Legits. These Mementos are video highlights memorializing moments from each FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM match!
