Host of the 2022 Fifa World Cp (5)

I believe the answer is:

qatar

(Other definitions for qatar that I've seen before include "Hot state" , "Sheikhdom due to host the 2022 World Cup" , "State in the Persian Gulf" , "Sporting venue" , "former British protectorate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
