Topic: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread - page 151. (Read 57610 times)

The main difficulty was the temperature as I understand it hence the date change from a normal scheduled world cup.  Qatar politically wants to position themselves as a key ally to the west and world hence hosting the competition was important to them generally.  The idea of profit exactly is pretty remote on the whole deal of hosting a world cup, I think Greece struggled after hosting the Olympics ironically it was a bit much so theres all kinds of reasons why some countries should not go forward on hosting; its important the country itself wants to bear that burden for a number of years before during and after.   I had a member of my extended family attend the world cup in not the best health as part of their dream holiday he'd always wanted to support their team;  he actually passed away during the event due to long term health concerns.  The family were grateful about how they were treated and help and care received during such difficult circumstances with all the people required for logistics of transporting him back home.
    I've missed any great negative conclusion drawn about the hosting, considering all the upset fans wandering around after their team loses there is plenty reason why things can go badly.

Depending the country which is hosting the world cup event rules change temporarily. I believe the determining factor is always what is more important for the people leading the country. In Qatar we saw it was their religion and traditions above everything else, including money (profitability), while in Brazil we see money is above all the rest, since the mentioned rule above was changed during the games to generate extra profit for the person or business selling alcohol inside the stadium, of course much more expensive than the alcohol sold outside at supermarkets.

And now, for the next world cup we have USA which is also very unlikely to change any rules to please the event and its components, since what comes first for them is national security and physical integrity of their citizens.

Broadly speaking, Qatar has successfully held the 2022 World Cup event, regardless of the pros and cons. Every country has the same right to nominate itself as the host of the World Cup, FIFA has rules and requirements that must be met by every country that submits itself.

There are many aspects that must be met by candidates for the World Cup host, in general, political, financial and security guarantees must be guaranteed during the implementation stages. Of course this does not conflict with the host country's regulations, I think this is in line with the purpose of any country's rules. So nothing has been changed, let alone changed religion, that is very unlikely to happen.

Dubai is not a country mate, it's just an emirate or a state which belongs to the country of United Arab Emirates (UAE). Also, I said that it's either of the two things because of the struggles that a non-Muslim visitor could experience if a world cup will again be hosted by another Muslim country, financial power wasn't even discussed because there is no need for that as it is quite evident that these countries are rich.

Lastly, I haven't said anything that the Qatari government should change their religion for one month I only said something about their rules so that it will be friendly enough to a non-Muslim visitor as it's almost safe to assume that 80% of people that will watch the event is non even a Muslim.

That was a disaster and was all for money.  Fifa is one of the more corrupt sports organizations.  That touny shoukd have never been played there no reason for it.  The death toll on workers building out the infrastructure alone they should be condemned for but fifa barely spoke a word about it. 

That will be more comfortable for the visitors as well because they cannot just expect that from these visitors to obey all their rules specially that alcohol thing and sleeping with a woman even if they aren't married yet because they came from anther country which got rules that are more flexibles. Rules will be their as a guide but when it comes to these events, those rules should be bent because people cannot enjoy some things if ever they will impose it strictly.

One of the reasons why FIFA conducted the tournament in Qatar was because they wanted to give an opportunity to the Middle-east to host the biggest sporting event in the world. The fact that Middle-east has never hosted any such tournament previously gave them a big plus point. But in the end, the entire selection process was marred by accusations of bribing. FIFA wanted Qatar to host the event at any cost, and therefore they ignored all these complaints. But then the Qataris also played hardball in the end, banning alcohol and LGBT couples. 

You know, FIFA has its selection process, right? And they are looking at infrastructure, resources, and capabilities, not religion. So, the Muslim-majority countries having tolerance or not, as many articles state (which, by the way, sounds like a misuse of language to generalize), really doesn't play into FIFA's decision, does it?

But then again, you know, there's this thing where some people might think there's a problem because of religion, and it's all tied up in misunderstandings. Really, it's about sports, not religion, right?

None can be blamed. As the countries follow Islamic law it looks more restricted than the European countries. Even the Qatar government made some arrangements so that audience from every part of the world enjoy watching football same as they enjoy in their home countries. Such decisions of not letting Muslim countries to host world cup is bad decision, they can be provided with some set of rules that need to be agreed being the host country.

I won't personally blame Islam and other Muslim countries for what happened in Qatar because even though Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country but they give freedom to the people who visit their country and other than some religious places they didn't take hard about Islam rules in other places.
However, I think it's safe to don't let Muslim countries host the world cup anymore or at least ask them to make some special rules during the World Cup.

It seems that FIFA will never have a burdensome rule not to use a country that has a majority Muslim population because in the previous World Cup it was in Qatar and there the majority of the population is also Muslim, after all not all Muslim countries have strict rules and are too fixated on religious regulations.
I myself have seen many things that Muslims are a religion that has high tolerance and they don't even differentiate between one religion and another and many articles also state that Muslims are a religion that accepts all human beings as brothers and sisters regardless of country, religion or race different.
So I don't think it's possible for FIFA to provide restrictions or rules for hosting the World Cup just because it's a Muslim-majority country.

Qatar, Dubai or Saudi Arabia, these three countries are strong enough financially, so if any of these three countries wants to host the World Cup, then maybe FIFA should not stop them. In the last World Cup, we saw Qatar beat the United States to become the World Cup hosts themselves. But when Qatar was the host country in the last World Cup, as a Muslim country, they set some policies for foreign visitors. The Qatari government has made it clear that they cannot change their religion for one month, and FIFA supports their policy. I think not only Islamic countries but all other countries will never change their religion for a month and also change their laws.

Borders are absolutely necessary.

Each country has it's own way of existing, with their own laws. And people inside those countries live the outcome of their own government.

Part of those laws is defining who gets to stay in the country. A citizen might lose their citizenship based on their actions. Another person might be granted citizenship based on their actions.

You can't just have a wild west where anyone can just come in and out as they please. Would you be happy to have anyone just entering your own home without you first deciding if you want to invite them? The same applies to a country.

Here I consider something, at the moment that people buy the tickets to the world, those people have to be assigned a visa immediately, according to the number of tickets that the people buy, because it is something that has to be like that, I think that in A World Cup should not have or exist borders for anyone, neither for Africans nor for people who come from other places that other countries consider prohibited or prohibited, because that does not make sense to me, and even less because it comes from decisions of world wars or something like that, I think that the existence of borders is something that should not exist, because we are all humans, or at least until now things with the aliens have not yet been released to the public to know how it is.

As long as there is only one race, which is human , that should not exist, Unless a world War is created and all the countries of the world participate to remove that beto , the truth is that for me it does not make sense, then in Such a glass a visa to go see the world is not bad , I Consider that a person who eats enters to go to the World Cup, should be granted from at least 5 days before the start of the World Cup and that it expires 5 days after the World Cup ends I believe that this is the most appropriate , and for any person without exception, wherever they come from and those who remain in the country illegally , as this is very difficult to Control, but that is what the authorities are for and I believe that this is not so hard for them to grab people and throw them away.

I know that any method that is going to be applied by the USA so that they can enter the country will be used, that is something that can and will happen, people who want to enter the USA will only have to get a ticket for a soccer match, I don't know if they will give visas for a certain time, or how it will be, if it is for a permit for 1 month or something like that, what is difficult to determine is how many people are going to stay in the country Illegally , that is what is difficult Easy to determine , I don't know how they will do it , but it's quite a Challenge Really.

That might be the case because Saudi Arabia has also expressed their interest that they also wanted to host a World Cup soon and preferably this coming 2030 but they are not alone with that because again, three nations (Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece) have combined and submitted their bid to host the 2030 World Cup. So hopefully, FIFA will impose a condition to Saudi that hopefully they are open to the fact that their rules might not apply to the other people who are just there for their country to watch some games.

As far as I can see it, only two things will happen;

1. FIFA learned their lesson and will not let these Muslim countries to host another FIFA event in the future
2. FIFA will still let these said countries to host an event given that they will flexible enough to accept that there might be some rules that needed to be bend

Either way, FIFA is still on the winning side because there are still many countries out there that can host an event successfully without having some problems. A country that is more open and can give freedom to the people that will flock to their country to watch the said event.

That I cannot disagree but that is very true mate, that is one of the downside of America because they are not minding their own business even if it doesn't directly involve them. It is a habit that sometimes put the whole country at risk and this time, they will face a dangerous situation again because a big event like the World Cup will take place in their country and they cannot avoid the factor that there might be some guys who are planning something in the guise of being an audience in one of the games. That means that while the country is having fun, let's expect that their medium in security will be tough including the screenings of every port and airport.

Although Brazil was forced to change that rule, we did not notice any change in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, that is, the game was completed according to the rules set by the Qatari government from the beginning of the season until the end. 
Alcohol was banned in Qatar, extramarital affairs were banned, homosexuality was banned, there were specific rules on women's clothing but none of these were changed by the Qatari government. Despite these strict regulations, the Qatari government managed to successfully complete the World Cup tournament. Qatar is a predominantly Muslim country, so it is natural to have such a rule in that country. Hope future world cup football lovers can sit in the stadium and enjoy the match well by enjoying the maximum facilities.

Americans have this habit of poking their nose in all these third world nations, rather than minding their own business. As a result, sometimes they face unintended consequences such as terror attacks. I was trying to say that sports events in US do have risks associated with them. And this one is such a massive event, which will see millions of fans travelling to the United States. Qatar managed the security quite well last time, partly because they are such a small country. But 2026 is going to be different. Matches are scheduled to take place in several cities, which are thousands of kilometers apart from each other. 

Yes, I also know that and I was expecting to see the same thing happening to Qatar when they hosted the world cup but unfortunately, instead of changing the rules, they still kept their rules about beer, alcohol, and LGBT which is not good and surely this can take the freedom from the people who visit this country.

They suspended drinking alcohol while if they have enough money there will not be any problem even if they do that in Qatar.

Also, Qatar banned alcohol because of Islam while they killed many foreign workers who came to this country because of their hard work and surely Islam is against killing these workers and this can be a greater sin in any religion.
