FIFA may have to consider moving 2022 World Cup if Human Rights record doesn't improve in next Year

“This report represents a major challenge for Fifa and it also gives an opportunity for Qatar to comprehensively reform its medieval labour laws and thus retain the hosting rights to the 2022 World Cup,” she said.

Amnesty International UK called on Infantino to take immediate steps to improve conditions for migrant workers in Qatar. “Only concerted Fifa action to prevent abuses on World Cup sites will save the soul of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar,” it said.

I'm sure Qatar will fudge the stats enough to get away with it

Bring it home boys.

Give it the Aussie's I say

They've got the infrastructure to pull it off, it's still Asia and it would be someone new

I don't think we're ever getting a World Cup ever again sadly

Just no.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Just no.

Why mate?

They like their togger over there, they're the current Champions of Asia and they have all the infrastructure in place

Plus, our summer is their winter, so we wouldn't have to re schedule the league season around it

Outside of esoteric match times for Western viewers back home, I really can't see a problem with them having it

Ok if you like getting out of bed at some unearthly hour, I suppose.

I would be in favour of it going to Australia

You could have the games kicking off at 6,8,10 AM GMT. It wouldn't really cause that much disruption, heck I'm awake at 5 most mornings for my two mile jog around the estate.

That would be the only issue with it for me

But then again, they'd have to do the same if it was elsewhere in the World as well

Only fair that we suffer once every 20 years or so. It is the WORLD Cup at the end of the day

They are thoroughly deserving though. They've shown they are committed to the sport over there and have performed well in past World Cups. I thought they played magnificently at times in the last World Cup and went out very much with their pride in tact

FIFA won't move it. If it was to be moved another world cup in the US would be ace.

Too recent for me

And the last World Cup was also in the Americas so wouldn't be fair I suppose. Albania it is so

I'd love to see you guys have a shot at hosting the World Cup

Be joint hosts with Scotland and Northern Ireland maybe?

It's probably the only way Scotland are ever going to qualify for a major tournament in the near future. Do them a solid lol

We wouldn't be able to watch most of the games...
