Right from the day, the FIFA World Cup tournament was given to Qatar to host, there have been talks all around. Qatar is an Islamic state where Shariya Law is applicable and players and fans visiting from various parts of the world are not okay with its strict rules.
Ahead of mega tournament, Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter says the decision to award the event to Qatar was a mistake. The FIFA World Cup will be played in various venues in Qatar from November 20 to December 18 with 32 teams in the fray.
The country is facing a lot of criticism over its stance on same-sex relationships, and various other human right records.
Qatar World Cup ambassador Khalid Salman has recently said that homosexuality is “damage in the mind”.
The former Qatar international told German broadcaster ZDF that LGBTQ+ people attending the tournament should “accept our rules”.
Such concerns seem to have prompted Blatter, who was the FIFA President when the decision to award the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Qatar was taken in 2010, to claim that Qatar is “too small of a country” to host the tournament.
“Football and the World Cup are too big for it,” he told a Swiss newspaper.
