Why is world cup in Qatar?

[Vivaldi]

What's the point of it being in Qatar?

[blackgaletiger]

The biggest reason is that they won the bid through means of their own and they can afford it. The host country is responsible for a majority of the cost of the event so you can guess how costly it can be for stadiums and hotels and other infrastructure

[misogynistic_pig]

Any country that is a member of FIFA can apply as a candidate to host the World Cup, Qatar won a vote of the FIFA executive committee, against Australia, South Korea, the United States and Japan.

Not really. They would never do it in Turkey for instance.

Qatar pays money for it being rich because of gasoline?

[Vivaldi]

Turkey is too bad for it but Qatar isn't.

Qatar have shit wether, is to hot ther to play in the summer. And a lot of surprise happen to this edition because they play in winter and the player ar not use to this time to play.

[jshm2]

Because they won the vote to do so.

Shitlarks seem to think it's a democracy on the global stage and that votes are not bought. Those poor, naïve idiots...

Anyway, Qatar did it bigger and better than anyone before, and they did it from scratch. Which got a lot of Westerners jealous.

Hence all the virtue signalling shit that marred the opening. They were expecting Qatar to have shit, sandy pitches, inept stadiums, and crappy transport etc etc. All things that would make Westerners feel better that they are living in "Western" countries.

Instead Qatar put on a show that makes Westerners look poor and backwards. Not to mention makes them feel all the centuries of slave labour, global pillage and plunder to build the modern West, yet the Arabs still live bigger and better.

Or Qatar paid good money to Fifa.

[Vivaldi]

They would never do it in Turkey but Qatar.

Watch fifa uncovered on Netflix and you'll see all the corruption that led the world cup to Qatar

[Vivaldi]

I dont have Neftlix

[MementoMori777]

I'm sure you can watch it by bits on YouTube but long story short the fifa voters from different countries bought each other out with other favors unrelated to soccer, like deals with oil and stuff, the corruption also involves bribery and tax fraud so the votes aren't fair tbh

[Astarlessnightsky]
