FIFA manages to give us new surprises every World Cup. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been brilliantly organized, whose reputation still lives on around the world. Hope FIFA will hold the next World Cup with more grandeur. In the next World Cup we will all see a new whole of young players in the team.
I don't know what you are talking about. Qatar 2022 was marred by many controversies and scandals. Tickets were overpriced, LGBT and unmarried couples were discriminated against, and alcoholic beverages were banned at the last minute without prior warning. Qatar just wanted to showoff their petro-wealth, and I guess they managed to do that. I found the 2018 FIFA World Cup much better organized, compared to the 2022 edition. And to be very frank, I would say that 2022 edition was one of the worst ever since I started watching football.
Well, I guess you already knew that Qatar is a Muslim country and things like alcohol, nudity or LGBT are not allowed in that country. The sporting events must follow the traditions of the country and people should not complain if they do have all the freedom which they would have had if this football event was held in any Western country.
However, on social media, I did see some nudity in the stadium which was very disturbing to watch being a Muslim. The police were very tolerant not to take action against them. As far as ticket pricing is concerned, I am not aware if it was overpriced but then if this tournament was held in the US, would the price would be less, I guess not.
Whenever you enter another country you must know about the rules of the country, in some countries it is allowed to use drugs and alcohol or they won't have hatred rules about nudity but in some other countries especially the Muslin countries like Qatar they won't allow people and these are all crimes and police can get arrested for it, I think FIFA made a bad decision to make a Muslim country hosting a world cup that's why people who visited this county were not happy about the rules.
Again I will disagree with this statement that FIFA should not have allowed a Muslim country to host the world cup. We need to understand that there are different religions around the world and everyone should respect each other religion. This is no excuse to deny the opportunity to host a word only on the basis of a certain religion.
Also, please remember that football is a global sport that is played in Muslim and non muslim countries. If Muslim countries are denied to host it, it will only encourage discrimination against them which is not right for the sport itself.
