Bribes, some of which came out and are currently under investigation/prosecution.
Other reasons why it's a terrible idea: they have a small population, little football culture (in terms of absolute size), no infrastructure (all the stadia are newly built and some will be demolished afterwards; there aren't enough hotels); they have many laws incompatible with what usually happens at World Cups. There literally isn't a single positive thing to be said about Qatar hosting the World Cup.
- JCharante 4y agoQatar has a pretty good airport with an extremely convenient location (more than 80% of the world population live within a 6 hour flight)
- sofixa 4y agoThat makes it a great airport hub, but it doesn't have the infrastructure to host, feed, transport, place in a stadium the hundreds of thousands of fans that want to watch a World Cup.
- tacker2000 4y agoA lot of fans will actually be staying in Dubai and flying over. I read that there will be dozens of flights per day between the two locations.
- sofixa 4y agoThat sounds great for the airlines but terrible for the environment.
