THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL WORLD CUP EVER

Qatar will be hosted Football World Cup 2022

 

FIFA WORLD CUP 2022 WILL BE HELD IN QATAR

Doha (News Update) This World Cup held in Doha Qatar is also being called as the most controversial World Cup ever. How did Qatar get to host this World Cup, how were the stadium workers treated and is it the right place for the World Cup? Such questions are constantly being raised. The treatment of the 30,000 migrant workers associated with the project has drawn considerable criticism.

 

In February 2021, the Guardian newspaper reported that since Qatar won its bid for the World Cup, 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar. Labor rights group Fair Square says many of the dead were working on World Cup infrastructure projects.

 

However, the Qatari government says these figures are overstated, as they include thousands of foreigners who have died after living and working in Qatar for years. According to the government, many of them were not working in the construction sector.

 

Qatar says 37 people have died in the construction of World Cup stadiums between 2014 and 2020. 34 of these deaths were not due to work.

 

How did Qatar get to have the World Cup in the country?

 

The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been mired in controversy since FIFA announced Qatar's hosting in 2010. Qatar is a very small but prosperous country with a short football history and no record of ever qualifying for the World Cup.

 

It was nothing less than a shock to many when such a country beat out countries like USA, Australia, South Korea and Japan to win the host.

 

There were additionally claims that Qatar had paid off FIFA authorities for this. Be that as it may, FIFA later led an autonomous examination concerning the claims yet tracked down no strong proof. Qatar denies claims that it purchased agents' votes.

 

The football world cup is starting from November 21 this year in the Middle East country of Qatar and the final is scheduled to be held on December 18. A total of 64 matches will be played during this time.

 

Qatar has issued a special card in the country under the FIFA World Cup, also known as HAYYA Card or Fan Card. The special thing is that now this card has also been approved by Saudi Arabia.
