World Cup in Qatar 2022: Why the award to hosts is heavily criticized
Whether many spectators will watch the World Cup at all remains to be seen.
Because for many, the World Cup in Qatar is a controversial issue.
Former FIFA President Joseph "Sepp" Blatter recently commented on the World Cup award.
“The award to Qatar was a mistake.
And I was responsible for that as President at the time," Blatter told the
Swiss daily Tages-Anzeiger.
Why?
Human rights organizations such as Amnesty International have repeatedly called for the World Cup in Qatar to be abandoned in order to take a stand against the incomplete labor law reform and human rights violations.
Serious allegations against Qatari officers because members of the LGBTQ community were mistreated are becoming more and more frequent, writes

World Cup ambassador Khalid Salman sparked discussion with scandalous statements
World Cup ambassador and former soccer player Khalid Salman fueled a fundamental discussion about Qatar as a World Cup host with his homophobic statements in the ZDF documentary "Geheimsache Qatar".
In an interview with sports journalist Jochen Breyer, Salman said that although everyone is welcome at the World Cup, he has a problem with gays.
According to Salman, homosexuality is "haram", i.e. a sin and a "spiritual harm".
Recently, another statement from a Qatari interlocutor also polarized reactions on the Internet.
In conversation with Salman and other participants in the conversation, Breyer asked the question of the need for women to wear full veils.
A comparison image of a woman with a candy was then drawn.
The discussion about the situation in Qatar is becoming increasingly important at a political level and is putting Germany in a dilemma.
Qatar would be a suitable gas supplier for Germany, which is why Economics Minister Robert Habeck agreed to a deal with the sheikhs.
But this deal fell through.
