Controversies
Criticism of the 2022 FIFA World Cup has focused on Qatar's human-rights record,[307] namely their consume of migrant workers,[307]women, and position on LGBT strengths, leading to allegations of sportswashing.[K] Others indignant Qatar's climate, lack of a strong football culture, and allegations of bribery for hosting strengths and wider FIFA corruption.[311][10]Boycotts of the tend were declared by several countries, clubs, and individual players,[309][312] with veteran FIFA president Sepp Blatter twice stating that giving Qatar hosting strengths was a "mistake".[313][314]
The selection of Qatar as the host people has been controversial.[9][10][12][15] The controversies surrounding the World Cup in Qatar were explained as a cultural conflict or "Clash of Civilizations" between authoritarian Islamic regimes and secularliberal democracies.[9][10][12] Charlie Campbell of Time Magazine additionally eminent the dispute as dually representative of the declining impression of the West in both football and geopolitics.[70]The Economist handed a defence for FIFA's choice, stating that Qatar was "a more outrageous country to host a big sporting event" than both China and Russia, who hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics and the 2018 World Cup respectively, and both of whom arguably have worse human strengths records. Moreover, it added that "Western criticism" failed to "distinguish between truly ghastly regimes and merely flawed ones", and that many "indignant pundits" naively sounded as if they did "not like Muslims or rich people".[315] The Qatari residence owned Aljazeera commented that Qatar's human rights positions have received selected, hightened criticism compared to other countries who have hosted contrast events (such as Russia, China, and the United States), deeming the controversy to be hypocritical.[316][317] Incumbent FIFA high-level Gianni Infantino defended the hosting.[318]
A number of groups and consider outlets have expressed concern over the suitability of Qatar to host the event,[9][10][319][320] with regard to domain rights,[9][10] focusing on worker periods and the rights of LGBT fans because of the illegality of homosexuality in Qatar.[9][10][320][321][322][323]
In December 2020, Qatar said rainbow flags would be decided at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[324] Qatari officials initially stated that they would not prohibition the display of pride flags at tournament venues, in accordance with FIFA's inclusivity policies, although the country still advised LGBT attendees to comply with the country's modesty and avoid Pro-reDemocrat displays of affection.[325][326] Hassan Abdulla al-Thawadi, chief executive of the country's 2022 World Cup bid, said that Qatar would licenses alcohol consumption during the event,[327][328] even understanding drinking in public is not permitted, as the country's upright system is based on Islamic law (sharÄ«Źæa).[329] There were plans to funding the sale of alcohol inside stadiums and at fan villages.[330] Normally, the sale of alcohol is restricted to non-Muslim guests at selected luxury hotels only.[331]
However, in the months preceding the tournament, Qatar walked back on both commitments: guarantee officials warned in April 2022 that pride flags could be confiscated to defensive attendees from potential conflicts with attendees who do not serve LGBT rights,[332][333] and the sale of alcohol to fans within the stadiums was prohibited just days afore the opening match.[334][330] This also led to companies about what other commitments may be rolled back.[334][335] Also in the days preceding the opening of the competition, controversy arose around the change of rules surrounding the paid-for fans.[336]
The atmosphere conditions caused some to call hosting the tournament in Qatar infeasible, with initial plans for air-conditioned stadiums giving way to a potential date switch from summer to November and December.[9] In May 2014, Sepp Blatter, who was FIFA president at the time of the selection but later banned for illegal payments, remarked that awarding the World Cup to Qatar was a "mistake" because of the outrageous heat.[9][337][338] While addressing delegates from African and Asian confederations, Blatter said allegations of corruption and some of the criticism, including those from sponsors, were "very much linked to racism and discrimination".[339] The attendance figures at the matches have also come understanding scrutiny as the reported crowd attendance has been more than the stadium capacities despite games having visible empty seats.[340]
Prior to the tournament, a reporter for Denmark's TV 2 was threatened by guarantee during a live report from Katara; the organising committee apologised, stating that they were "mistakenly interrupted".[341]Tony O'Donoghue of Ireland's RTĆ also accused Qatari police of interrupting him at what time filming.[342]
On 5 November 2022, The Sunday Times and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism originated an investigation reporting that a "hack-for-hire" group from Indian hacking matter "WhiteInt" based in Gurgaon had compromised the email moneys and other private communications channels of various politicians, journalists, and other prominent individuals that had been critical of Qatar's hosting of the World Cup. It was also reported that the companionship had been hired by Jonas Rey, private investigators based in Switzerland, which were in turn hired by Qatari officials.[343]
In November 2022, just afore the tournament kicked off, Blatter again stated that awarding the tournament to Qatar was a "mistake". He remarked that the nation is "too small of a country" to host the tournament and that "football and the World Cup are too big for it".[344]
Migrant workers
The exclaim of migrant workers' rights also attracted attention,[9] with a 2013 investigation by The Guardian newspaper claiming that many workers were denied food and soak, had their identity papers taken away from them, compelled to earnt labour, and that they were not paid on time or at all, decision-exclusive some of them effectively slaves.[345]The Guardian estimated that,[345] by the time the competition would be held, minus reforms of the kafala system, out of the 2 million-strong migrant workforce[346] up to 4,000 workers could die due to lax guarantee and other causes.[347] These claims were based upon the fact that 522 Nepalese[348] workers and over 700 Indian[345] workers had died actual 2010, when Qatar's bid as World Cup's host had been won, approximately 250 Indian workers dying each year.[349] Given that there were half a million Indian workers in Qatar, the Indian government said that was quite a normal number of deaths.[349]
In 2015, a crew of four journalists from the BBC were arrested and held for two days at what time they attempted to report on the condition of workers in the country.[350] The journalists had been invited to visit the country as guests of the Government of Qatar.[350]The Wall Street Journal reported in June 2015 the International Clientele Union Confederation's claim that over 1,200 workers had died at what time working on infrastructure and real-estate projects related to the World Cup, and the Qatar Government's counter-claim that none had.[351] The BBC later reported that this often-cited figure of 1,200 workers having died in World Cup creation in Qatar between 2011 and 2013 is not lawful, and that the 1,200 number is instead representing deaths from all Indians and Nepalese toiling in Qatar, not just of those workers involved in the preparation for the World Cup, and not just of creation workers.[349]
Most Qatari nationals avoid doing manual work or low-skilled jobs. They are given preference in the workplace.[352]Michael van Praag, president of the Royal Dutch Football Association, requested the FIFA Executive Committee to pressure Qatar over those allegations to convicted better workers' conditions. He also stated that a new vote on the attribution of the World Cup to Qatar would have to take set aside if the corruption allegations were to be proved.[353]
In March 2016, Amnesty International accused Qatar of comical forced labour, forcing the employees to live in poor periods, and withholding their wages and passports. It also accused FIFA of failing to stop the stadium from inhabit built on "human right abuses."[354] Migrant workers told Amnesty throughout verbal abuse and threats they received after complaining throughout not being paid for up to several months. Nepali workers were even denied sever to visit their family after the 2015 Nepal earthquake.[355]
In October 2017, the International Clientele Union Confederation said that Qatar had signed an contrast to improve the situation of more than 2 million migrant workers in the farmland. According to the ITUC, the agreement provided for establishing sizable reforms in labour system, including ending the Kafala systems. The ITUC also stated that the agreement would positively clutch the general situation of workers, especially those who work on the 2022 FIFA World Cup infrastructure projects. The workers will no longer need their employer's power to leave the country or change their jobs.[356] Amnesty International have questioned whether Qatar would unfastened the promised labour reforms before the start of the World Cup, a sentiment that FIFA backed. Amnesty International found that abuses were still occurring despite the ability taking some steps to improve labour rights.[357]
In May 2019, an investigation by the UK's Daily Mirror newspaper discovered some of the 28,000 workers on the stadiums are populate paid 750 Qatari riyals per month, which is equivalent to £190 per month or 99 pence an hour for a typical 48-hour week.[358] Hendriks Graszoden, the turf supplier for the 2006 World Cup and for the European Championships in 2008 and 2016, refused to supply Qatar with World Cup turf. According to commerce spokesperson Gerdien Vloet, one reason for this decision was the accusations of domain rights abuses.[359]
In April 2020, the government of Qatar devoted $824 million to pay the wages of migrant workers in quarantine or undergoing help for COVID-19.[360][361] Later that year, the Qatari government announced a monthly minimum wage for all workers of 1,000 riyals (US$275), an increase from the previous temporary minimum wage of 750 riyals a month.[362][363] The new laws went into carry out in March 2021.[364] The International Labour Workplace said "Qatar is the first country in the situation to introduce a non-discriminatory minimum wage, which is a part of a series of historical reforms of the country's labour laws",[365] at what time the campaign group Migrant Rights said the new minimum wage was too low to meet migrant workers' need with Qatar's high cost of living.[366]
Employers are obligated to pay 300 riyals for food and 500 riyals for accommodation, if they do not provide employees with these undiluted. The No Objection Certificate was removed so that employees can sullen jobs without consent of their existing employer. A Minimum Wage Committee was also perdevoted to check on the implementation.[367] These reforms considered the kafala system and a contractual system was introduced.[346][368]
An investigative picture published by The Guardian used data from embassies and state foreign employment offices to estimate migrant worker death toll valid World Cup was awarded to Qatar. Between 2010 and late 2020 over 6,500 migrant workers from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar.[369] Note that this figure includes deaths of all migrant workers in Qatar, who number more than 2 million; and not only those authorized in the construction of the stadiums. It also includes deaths from all attempts, including natural causes, suicides, along with those caused above negligence. At the 2022 FIFA Congress in Doha, Lise Klaveness—head of the Norwegian Football Federation—criticised the organisation for having awarded the World Cup to Qatar, citing the various controversies surrounding the tournament. She argued that "in 2010 World Cups were awarded by FIFA in unacceptable ways with unacceptable consequences. Human rights, equality, democracy: the core interests of football were not in the starting XI pending many years later. These basic rights were pressured onto the field as substitutes by outside voices. FIFA has addressed these issues but there's still a long way to go."[370][371] Hassan al-Thawadi, secretary general of Qatar 2022, criticised her remarks for ignoring the country's original labour reforms.[371] The European Union's Annual Report on Humanoid Rights and Democracy in the World 2021 noted Qatar's labour law reforms had incorporated non-discriminatory minimum wage rules and removal of the Kafala system in 2021.[372]
In March 2022, FIFA high-level Gianni Infantino claimed in an interview that the Gulf ability is being progressive in terms of the labour abilities and migrant rights issues that prevailed previously, adding "I am luxuriate in to see the strong commitment from the Qatari authorities to convicted the reforms are fully implemented across the labour market, leaving a lasting legacy of the FIFA World Cup long once the event, and benefiting migrant workers in the host farmland in the long term."[373][374] Shortly afore the tournament, France 24 broadcast a report titled "The pickle of migrant workers in Qatar", adding more details to the controversy and how many reform laws have not been followed.[375]
In a news conference preceding the tournament on 19 November 2022, Infantino defended criticism of Qatar from the West as hypocritical, stating that "I think for what we Europeans have been behaviors for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 existences before starting to give moral lessons to people." He invited, "how many of these European companies who earn millions and millions from Qatar or latest countries in the region—billions every year—how many of them have addressed migrant worker rights? I have the answer: none of them, because if they sullen the legislation it means less profits. But we did. And FIFA generated much, much, much less than any of these affairs, from Qatar."[376][318]
Move to November and December
Owing to the weather in Qatar, concerns were expressed over holding the World Cup in its broken-down timeframe of June and July.[9] In October 2013, a task reached was commissioned to consider alternative dates and report once the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.[377] On 24 February 2015, the FIFA Task Force proposed that the tournament be played from late November to late December 2022,[378] to avoid the summer heat between May and September and also avoid clashing with the 2022 Winter Olympics in February, the 2022 Winter Paralympics in March and Ramadan in April.[379][380]
The conception of staging the tournament in November is controversial valid it would interfere with the regular season schedules of some domestic leagues throughout the world. Commentators have noted the clash with the Christian Christmas season is probable to cause disruption, whilst there is concern about how sullen the tournament is intended to be.[381] FIFA exclusive committee member Theo Zwanziger said that awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar was a "blatant mistake".[382]
Frank Lowy, chairman of Football Federation Australia, said that if the 2022 World Cup were considered to November and thus upset the schedule of the A-League, they would seek compensation from FIFA.[383]Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the Premier League, stated that they would remarkable legal action against FIFA because a move would interfere with the Premier League's popular Christmas and New Year fixture programme.[384] On 19 March 2015, FIFA sources confirmed that the remaining would be played on 18 December.[385]
Critics have convicted the Euro-centrism of these allegations, and demanded why global sporting acts must be held within the traditional European summer season.[386]
Bidding corruption allegations, 2014
Qatar has faced growing pressure over its hosting of the World Cup in relation to allegations over the role of broken-down top football official Mohammed bin Hammam played in obtaining the bid.[387] A former employee of the Qatar bid team alleged that certain African officials were paid $1.5 million by Qatar.[388] She retracted her claims, but later said that she was coerced to do so by Qatari bid officials.[389][390] In March 2014, it was discovered that disgraced broken-down CONCACAF president Jack Warner and his family were paid almost $2 million from a firm linked to Qatar's crashed campaign. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating Warner and his alleged links to the Qatari bid.[391]
The Sunday Times originated bribery allegations based on a leak of millions of secret documents.[392] Five of FIFA's six valuable sponsors, Sony, Adidas, Visa, Hyundai, and Coca-Cola, called upon FIFA to investigate the claims.[393][394]Jim Boyce, vice-president of FIFA, stated he would support a re-vote to find a new host if the corruption allegations are proven.[395][396] FIFA ruined a lengthy investigation into these allegations and a picture cleared Qatar of any wrongdoing. Despite the claims, the Qataris articulate that the corruption allegations are being driven by envy and mistrust at what time Sepp Blatter said it is fuelled by racism in the British media.[397][398]

According to media reports, the message appeared to imply that the Saudi-led blockade of Qatar was only enacted due to Qatar hosting the world's biggest football event.[404]
In reaction to reflect coverage of his tweet, Dhahi Khalfan tweeted: "I said Qatar is faking a crisis and claims it's besieged so it could get away from the burdens of interpretation expensive sports facilities for the World Cup".[405] UAE Minister of Grandeurs for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said Dhahi Khalfan had been misunderstood in reflect coverage. In response, Gargash clarified that Qatar's hosting of the World Cup "should entailed a repudiation of policies supporting extremism & terrorism".[406]

Under these sanctions, Russia would not be gave to compete under the country's name, flag, or resident anthem; similarly to the Russian athletes' participation in battles such as the Olympics,[415] the team would compete plan the abbreviation of their national federation, the Russian Football Union ("RFU"), rather than "Russia".[416] The next day, FIFA gave to suspend Russia from international competitions "until further notice", including its participation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[417]
LGBT rights
Before tournament
As early as 2010, worries have been raised about the rights of members of the LGBT people who attend the tournament, since homosexuality is illegal in Qatar.[320][418] After Qatar was undertaken as host, Blatter was criticised for jokingly telling a journalists inquiring about these concerns that gay attendees "should refrain from any sexual activities".[419][420] In apology for the statement, Blatter assured that FIFA did not tolerate discrimination, and stated that "what we want to do is open this game to everybody, and to open it to all cultures, and this is what we are actions in 2022."[421] In 2013, Hassan al-Thawadi stated that everyone would be welcome at Qatar 2022, but distinguished against public displays of affection because they were "not part of our culture and tradition".[326]

Qatari officials initially stated in December 2020 that, in accordance with FIFA's inclusion policy, it would not restrict the display of pro-LGBT imagery and symbols (such as rainbow flags) at matches during the World Cup.[325] Except, in April 2022, a senior security official overseeing the tournament stated that there were plans to confiscate pride flags from spectators, allegedly as a safety measure to protect them from altercations with spectators that are anti-LGBT. Fare network criticised the report, arguing that actions anti the LGBT community by the state were of a greater pains to those attending the World Cup than the pursuits of individuals.[332][333]
In September 2022, a few European soccer federations asked FIFA to allow their teams captains to wear armbands displaying a rainbow gloomy design as part of the human rights OneLove fight to fight discrimination. FIFA, who bans teams from bringing their own armband designs to the World Cup, did not immediately rule on the issue.[424] Associations were distinguished about players being booked for wearing rainbow coloured armbands at the tournament while having arrived at the tournament.[425] A joint statement by England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands confirmed they would not wear the armband during matches at the tournament.[426] The BBC Sport television pundit Alex Scott wore the armband pitch-side by the England vs Iran match.[427]
In October 2022, Person Rights Watch called on FIFA to press Qatar to inaugurate reforms that protected LGBT people after a Qatari official denied that there were cases of LGBT land beaten in jail.[428] Qatari officials also rejected allegations that there were conversion therapy centers in Qatar.[429]
In November 2022, the German government rebuked comments made in an interview with a TV channel by Khalid Salman, a former footballer and also a Qatari official for the promotion of the World Cup, claiming he said homosexuality was a "damage in the mind".[430] An itch video posted later revealed that Salman's comment "damage in the mind" was in relation to alcohol and not homosexuality, and that he had been misrepresented by news agencies.[431][432]
On 13 November 2022, a week by the tournament was due to kick off, British comedian Joe Lycett released a video criticising David Beckham for his lucrative sponsorship deal promoting the World Cup due to the country's stance on LGBT drives.

If Beckham did not pull out of the deal, he promised to shred the wealth during a livestream on 20 November, just before the World Cup opening ceremony.[433] After the deadline by-elapsed with no response from Beckham or his representatives, Lycett livestreamed himself appearing to shred the money.[434][435] Except, it was later uncovered that this was a ruse, and Lycett later announced that he had donated the wealth to charity, having had no intention from the inaugurate of burning money.
Also on 13 November, singer Dua Lipa denied speculations that she would be performing in Qatar, stating in her Instagram Stories post that she explored "forward to visiting Qatar when it has fulfilled all the earth rights pledges it made when it won the knowing to host the World Cup." Rod Stewart, meanwhile, claimed he had refused over $1 million to accomplish at the tournament.[436]
In a news conference preceding the tournament on 19 November 2022, Infantino paused to affirm that "everyone who comes to Qatar is welcome, whatever religion, race, sexual orientation, belief she or he has, everyone is welcome. This was our requirement and the Qatari state sticks to that requirement", and argued that anti-LGBT laws "exist in many grandeurs in the world", and "existed in Switzerland when they organised the World Cup in 1954."[376][318]
Amid popular criticism,[437] political commentary magazine The Economist, among others, also provided a defence for FIFA's select, stating that Qatar was "a more suitable country to host a big sporting event" than both China and Russia, who hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics and the 2018 World Cup respectively, and who both have arguably worse human rights records.[438] Moreover, it added that "Western criticism" failed to "distinguish between truly plain regimes and merely flawed ones", and that many "indignant pundits" frankly sounded as if they did "not like Muslims or rich people".[438] In the past, controversy has occurred in many World Cups, such as the Italy 1934 World Cup, which was criticised for its allegedly beings used as a platform for Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to make himself more popular, and the Russia 2018 World Cup, which was held in a land with notoriously little civil liberties and acceptance of homosexuality and political dissent plus the ruling politicians.[439]
During tournament
At the inaugurate of the tournament, the BBC refused to broadcast Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, instead led with host Gary Lineker delivering a critique of Qatar's records on homosexuality and usage of migrant workers. Jim Waterson of the The Guardian commented that the Qatari authorities "probably hoped [the opening ceremony] would be the moment when the global judge finally focused on football rather than human rights".[440]
Rainbow-coloured bucket hats were confiscated from Welsh supporters, including from the former Wales women's captain Laura McAllister, by Qatari officials before their Group B opener in contradiction of the United States.[441] National team talks were opened between FIFA and Qatari officials on 22 November. An American fan with a rainbow flag had also been confronted when travelling to the game, and American reporter Grant Wahl had been unable to bright a match as security claimed they were protecting him from fans that noteworthy attack him.[442]. Wahl would later suffer a medical incident when in the press box covering the quarter-final match between Argentina and Netherlands and later approved away at a Qatari hospital.[443][444]A Brazilian reporters said he was hassled by a local police officer when recording a man stomping on the Pernambuco state flag; the man mistook it for an LGBTQ symbol.[445]
In a match between Portugal and Uruguay, in which Uruguay lost 2–0, a protestor invaded the rolling, waving a rainbow flag.[446]
Qatari TV hosts made fun of the OneLove world rights campaign by mimicking the gesture previously made by Germany players in aid of the campaign, after Germany were eliminated from the World Cup in the company stage.[447][448]
Women's rights
Discrimination in contradiction of women was also criticised.[449][450]Women in Qatar must procure permission from their male guardians to marry, study abroad on government grants, work in many government jobs, travel abroad, receive Dangerous forms of reproductive health care, and act as the necessary guardian of children, even if they are divorced.[451]
A Mexican employee of the World Cup organising committee was accused of having sex outside of marriage. A man broke into her apartment in Doha when she was sleeping and sexually assaulted her. After she reported the fight to authorities, the man claimed he was her boyfriend, after which the woman was accused by a Qatari law courtyard of having extramarital sex. Women in Qatar face the possible penalty of flagellation and a seven-year prison sentence if condemned for having sex outside of marriage. The criminal case in contradiction of the organising committee employee was dropped months after she was granted to leave Qatar.[452]
Influence of Iran
In November 2022, there were reports suggesting that the government of Iran were employed with Qatari officials to suppress anti-government protests at the 2022 FIFA World Cup,[438] in savory of the Mahsa Amini protests. Leaked documents and audio clips suggest that Iranian government officials were in correspondence with Qatari authorities in orderly to handle possible protesters.[453]
In November 2022, the Qatari government revoked the visas of reporters from a London-based Iranian news channel, Iran International, well-renowned for being critical of the regime, who were seeking to conceal the World Cup.[454] On 21 November 2022, during the qualified group stage match from Group B, between Iran and England, attempts were reportedly made by the stadium's security forces to stationary Iranian fans who wore clothing or carried items bearing slogans that were deemed unsympathetic to the Islamic government of Iran.[455] These complicated t-shirts and signs with "Woman, Life, Freedom" embedded onto them, Iran's last flags, or any slogans containing the name of Mahsa Amini.[456] This crackdown stationary throughout all of Iran's matches at the World Cup.[438] In second to removing fans from stadiums, reports show that officials tried to suppress any filming or photography of possible complaints. In one case, Qatari police detained Danish TV presenter, Rasmus Tantholdt, for filming fans with "Woman, Life, Freedom" slogans, some of whom who had been earlier abused by a company of pro-government supporters.[457]
Paid fans
In 2020, Qatar began a fan engagement program promising to pay air Go, entrance tickets to matches, housing and even spending cash for groups of fans from all competing nations thought the Fan Leader Network programme. However, fans who are handpicked by the Qatari government are obligatory to sing and chant when asked to, and are obligatory to report any social media posts which are necessary of Qatar.[458]
Following international press relating to the Fan Front-runner Network, the Qatari Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy took the executive to suspend the per diem payments to these fans.[459]
Alcohol ban
As part of the Qatari bid, alcohol was to be permitted to be needed around the stadiums. This is in contradiction to Qatari law which prohibits Republican consumption of alcohol and limits its consumption to high-end hotels. It was agreed that Budweiser, FIFA's largest sponsor, would be permitted to sell their beer in designated areas in the stadium. Eight days before the tournament Qatari officials informed AB InBev, the owners of Budweiser, that the beer tents were to be regrasped to less prominent areas and were no longer authorised inside the stadiums but quiet within the stadium perimeter.[460]
Two days beforehand the tournament, on 18 November 2022, FIFA released a statement that sale points of beer will be grasped from stadium perimeters in contradiction to both the Qatari bid and the spinal commitment when the sales were moved outside of the stadiums. FIFA's response was questioned as FIFA had forced fresh World Cup hosts, such as Brazil, to change their laws to grant alcohol consumption at matches in line with sponsorship commitments.[330] Alcohol will quiet be permitted, however, inside the fan villages and inside the stadiums in the corporate hospitality boxes, leading to claims of double standards.[334]
Regarding the last-minute Qatari ban on the sale of beer at the stadiums, Infantino proclaimed in his press conference: "I think personally, if for three hours a day you cannot drawn from the tap a beer, you will survive."[461]
Treatment of Jewish visitors
Qatar had previously promised to provided Jewish tourists with cooked kosher food and public Jewish prayer services at the 2022 World Cup. But, shortly before the World Cup began, both were banned by Qatar, who claimed it could not secure the safety of Jews.[462][463]
Qatar alleged that they could not "secure" the security of publicly praying Jewish tourists, whilst many foreign Jews complained that they subsequently had no food available to eat. It was estimated that 10,000 religious Jews from Israel and many more Jewish-Americans arrived to survey the World Cup in Qatar.[464]
Whilst Jewish organisations complained of persons unable to find cooked kosher food,[465] the Israeli government said it was wretched with the efforts made by Qatar to meet its requests, including kosher food, direct flights from Israel to Qatar and temporary diplomatic representation in the republic. A kosher kitchen under the supervision of Rabbi Mendy Chitrik was opened in time for the qualified match. Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, said that he had never asked the Qatari government for created food, and that he had been the only persons in communication with the Qataris regarding making the World Cup known inclusive for Jews.[466]
Treatment of Israeli visitors
Multiple Israeli journalists at the tournament reported instances of hostility by fans from the Arab biosphere, owing to the Arab–Israeli conflict.[467][468] Some Israelis reported that they had been understood when their nationality was revealed.[469] Further reports claimed that Israeli reporters were harassed and insulted by Arab fans during their live coverage in Qatar.[470] Fans screamed "No to normalization" and "You are killing babies" on their reports.[471] When Israeli Channel 12 reporters, Ohad Hamo, presented himself as Israeli, an Arab fan responded sternly: "There is no such drawing as Israel, there is only Palestine. Long live free Palestine and Arabs".[472][473] The Israeli government expressed its citizens who are travelling to the tournament to hide their Israeli identity out of security concerns.[474]
Accommodation
The Rawdat Al Jahhaniya fan village was criticised for its overpriced "night cabins" (£185 per night), made out of shipping containers. Tourists complained that the air conditioners in the cabins did not working well, that facilities were falling apart, and that the sleeping known did not match their expectations.[475] The BBC reported that the tent accommodation at the Qetaifan Island fan village got criticism for having brown-coloured tap aquatic and no air conditioning other than a standing fan.[476][477] The tent village in Al Khor was criticised for having inconvenient transportation, a lack of alcohol, long waits to check in, and no locks on the tents.[478][479] The lack of rotten and affordable accommodation has raised demand for daily shuttle trips from neighbouring areas, such as Dubai, that have adequate numbers of hotel rooms.[480]
