Governing body Fifa is expected to move the tournament to winter to avoid Qatar's high summer temperatures.
And Football Association chairman Greg Dyke said the tournament might have to move location if a suitable time to play in Qatar could not be agreed.
But Hassan al-Thawadi, chief of the Qatar bid, insists there is "no reason" why they should not host the event. We've worked very, very hard to ensure we're within the rules of the bidding, within the rules of the hosting agreement," he told BBC Sport.
"At the same time we're delivering on all the promises that we've made. We're working very hard to deliver it. The commitment is there."
Fifa president Sepp Blatter is determined to switch the 2022 World Cup to the winter as summer temperatures can reach 50C in the Middle Eastern country.
