World Cup 2022: Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter says awarding Qatar the World Cup was a ‘mistake’
As well as that, Qatar has been criticised for its stance on multiple issues including same-sex relationships, human rights record and its treatment of migrant workers. They are scheduled to play Ecuador on Sunday, November 20 at 4pm UK time.
Speaking to Swiss paper Tages Anzeiger, Blatter said “It is too small of a country. Football and the World Cup are too big for it.” It’s the first time a country situated in the Middle East will host a World Cup, with the global tournament first occurring in 1930. Blatter continued to explain that the criteria that prospective host countries must have was altered in 2012. This came due to concerns about the treatment of migrant workers building World Cup stadiums in Qatar.
He went on to say the upcoming World Cup should’ve been held in the USA, saying “At the time, we actually agreed in the executive committee that Russia should get the 2018 World Cup and the USA that of 2022. It would have been a gesture of peace if the two long-standing political opponents had hosted the World Cup one after the other.”Blatter was the head of football’s governing body for 17 years, until he was forced to step down in 2015.
