This is a rather closed country, so the news from there does not come in as much as we would like. I am also interested to know at what stage the preparations for the championship are going on. As far as I remember, something very cool was planned there, like fully air-conditioned stadiums, I wonder if they were able to implement it?
As for the trip, I would not go even if I had the opportunity. Too big cultural differences.
There are strict restrictions about few things, so we have to wait for final announcement about this then hopefully we all have good news about this because recently they have few controversies which was creating serious trouble for many, so now they have done ban on many things even no one can give you picture of many places those are under construction specially all related to FIFA World Cup 2022.
One of my friend is also involved their few weeks back we were regularly in talk, but now he is not available for any update as too much hard schedule for labors and lower class workers without any special bonus or increase in salaries which is also big issue, but media not allowed to highlight anything just wait and watch for all details.
