let’s talk about the biggest football

tournament in the world the FIFA World

Cup and it’s happening right here in

Qatar

more than one million football fans are

expected to travel to this tiny Gulf

Nation for what’s going to be a World

Cup of many firsts

including the first to be hosted in the

Middle East it’s a great event for my

country I’m very proud I’m so excited

that people are coming together to

actually experience it

and Qatar has built so much new stuff to

make it all happen

seven stadiums

a new airport more than a hundred hotels

new highways

and a new Metro

the total bill is coming in at something

like 200 billion dollars making this the

most expensive World Cup ever by a long

way we’ve basically seen an

international City emerge out of the

desert but it’s also a World Cup that’s

come in for a lot of criticism

especially over human rights issues and

qatar’s treatment of the migrant workers

who’ve built everything

host country Qatar is facing growing

criticism over its treatment of women

migrant workers and the lgbtq plus

Community the team from Australia is out

with a video today that condemns the

country’s human rights record I believe

a lot of the criticism is unjust I feel

like people have used

this as a way just to be able to bring

Qatar into disrepute Qatar is a

welcoming and hospitable country there’s

nothing that fans should be worried

about all we have to do right now is

just to show the world what an amazing

World Cup this will be this country has

been looked at Cordon scrutinized for 12

years I think there’s also a real kind

of determination from the organizers to

prove the world wrong so we’re going to

take you through some of the basics

about Qatar explain some of the

controversies behind this world cup and

tell you what to expect from the

tournament

foreign

qatar’s capital and its only major city

Qatar is a desert peninsula in the Gulf

it’s got only one land border that’s

with Saudi Arabia Dubai and Iran are

also nearby they’re just across the

water and Qatar is Tiny it takes roughly

two hours to drive from top to bottom

nearly 3 million people live here but

only 380 000 are actually Qatari

Nationals everyone else has come here

from all over the world to work in all

sorts of jobs

but a lot of what you see in Qatar today

like most of these buildings it just

wasn’t here even 20 years ago

if we go back even further around 100

years qatar’s biggest industry was Pearl

diving

but in the 1930s they struck oil and

then in the 70s they discovered Natural

Gas

today Qatar has the third biggest gas

reserves in the world

and that enormous wealth has been used

to transform the country

there is a huge Ginger huge difference

between 40 years ago and now today and I

remember in 2000s 2001 2003 if anybody

asked me where are you from and I say

I’m from Qatar they asked me another

question where is Qatar what is now they

just asked me how it’s look like how

what is if we visit Qatar what do we

need how it’s the culture the profile is

the growing

dramatically and the the and Qatari

government has succeeded actually in

establishing themselves in the world map

now on the political front Qatar is not

a democracy like its neighbors in the

Gulf it’s a monarchy and the Emir

essentially runs the government right

now that’s Sheikh tamim bin Hamad

al-tani but it was his father the

previous Emir who really kick-started

qatar’s super fast growth came with a

new vision and Mission in his mind and

he wanted to develop the country whether

an education and Healthcare and media

and culture and sports Qatar actually

uses those as tools and it’s soft power

but it’s not just soft power qatars also

tried to position itself as an important

political player for example by

mediating between groups fighting in

countries like Sudan and Afghanistan

well I think there’s a few different

goals that go back to a bigger strategy

over the last kind of 25 years or so

really thinking about the country as

trying to solidify for itself a kind of

a reputation on the international stage

and the ultimate expression of Qatar

wanting to be this big Global player is

hosting the World Cup the 222 FIFA World

Cup is Qatar

foreign

first got to bed I was over in in Zurich

for the announcement at FIFA

headquarters in 2010 the bid had started

in 2009 very much seen as an outsider

bit there was so many things against the

size of the country the weather the

perceived absence of football culture

here so I think when set blatter pulled

out Qatar from the envelope the whole

footballing world was just in a state of

shopping

while over in Qatar people went wild

SpongeBob

since then a lot has happened

there were years of corruption scandals

at FIFA World football’s governing body

the FIFA sky

Land seven people were now arrested as

Top members of FIFA’s board and Qatar

along with Russia which hosted in 2018

was accused of essentially buying its

winning bid it’s something that Qatar

has always denied we haven’t seen

anything definitive proving that that

process was you know was corrupted but

certainly the the questions being there

I think already

you know cast certain doubts I think in

the minds of a lot of people

there’s another Shadow hanging over this

tournament and that’s the issue of Labor

rights and the working conditions for

the tens of thousands of people brought

in to do all the construction many of

them from countries in South Asia and

Africa

because Qatar like other Gulf countries

relies almost entirely on foreign

workers they play a key part of making

qatar’s dream to host the swordka

possible and yet they were governed by

this very problematic system the system

created an over-dependence of Migrant

workers over on the employer or the

sponsor so this created this power

imbalance that actually drove labor

abuse and exploitation in the country

and across the Gulf region

things like not being allowed to change

jobs or leave the country without their

employer’s permission not getting paid

and working in unsafe conditions and in

extreme heat

and workers have died during all the

construction linked to the World Cup but

the number of deaths is heavily disputed

now here’s what qatar’s Supreme

committee the organizers of the World

Cup told us in a statement despite our

commitment to our rigorous standards it

is unfortunately the case that as

elsewhere in the world work-related

injuries and deaths still occur on our

projects and there have been three

work-related fatalities and 37 non-work

related deaths but a report last year by

the un’s international labor

organization suggests a more complicated

picture one that goes beyond just World

Cup construction projects it found

evidence of 50 fatal occupational

injuries in Qatar in 2020 alone mostly

in the construction industry and mostly

workers from Bangladesh India and Nepal

the ILO says it’s hard to get accurate

numbers because of gaps in the data they

point to different institutions in Qatar

categorizing and investigating

work-related deaths differently so for

example there is a concern on whether a

large number of workers fatalities are

caused by heat stress and whether these

are not being properly identified as

work related

at the same time the ILO and rights

groups like Amnesty International also

say that qatar’s government has done a

lot to improve things including

reforming the sponsorship system so that

workers can now change jobs or leave the

country without having to ask for

permission

I don’t think any country can claim to

have done as much as Qatar has done in

the past 10 years to improve the working

conditions living standards the

introduction of minimum wage I thought

has been a Trailblazer in the region but

there are you know certain legitimate

criticisms to be raised at the same time

there are some that we’ve seen from some

segments and corners of the media and

other International audiences that have

tended to Veer a little bit toward a

kind of very racialized way of looking

at Qatar or kind of an orientalist way

of thinking specifically about Qatar as

if it exists completely outside of a

very you know troubling kind of

international labor system that is quite

exploitative the Qatari government has

said that the World Cup has been an

important Catalyst for improving workers

rights do you agree

yeah definitely I think the spotlight

that was brought by by this world cup

pushed the Qatari government to at least

commit to this to this reform process

and up until 2017 there was a bit of a

denial that there is an issue in 2017 we

saw a shift in the political will that

the government really kind of adopted DG

phone process so the principles are in

way better shape now but this

implementation ending the sculpture of

impunity ensuring that employers are

respecting the law and migrant workers

are fully protected from labor abuse and

exploitation that’s where some gaps

remain

and it’s not just labor rights the World

Cup has also drawn attention to other

rights issues in Qatar for example

homosexuality is criminalized here and

that’s been a big focus of criticism

concerns are growing the Qatar is not

doing enough to ensure the safety of

lgbtq plus fans some of the teams have

raised the issue and the German and

English captains say they’ll wear

rainbow armbands in support of the lgbtq

community the message from FIFA is to

focus on the football and qatar’s

organizing committee says everyone will

be welcome I reiterate the message of

Qatar being a safe country a hospitable

country and I am confident that anybody

that comes to factor is going to feel

welcome and and safe

most World Cup tournaments are spread

across several cities but this one is

super compact all eight stadiums are

either indocha or within an hour’s drive

so if you wanted to you can go to more

than one match in a day

but with all the fans concentrated in

this small area it’s going to be a huge

operation to make it all run smoothly

will there be enough accommodation will

the traffic be gridlocked

will the new Metro be able to handle the

crowds

then there’s all the new entertainment

they’ve prepared two newly built islands

with rides and restaurants and a huge

water park they’re bringing in big names

for three music festivals and there will

be lots of fan zones

so right now this is obviously a massive

construction site but imagine this

packed full of football fans fan zones

will be among the designated areas where

people can buy and drink alcohol

alcohol will also be sold within the

stadium perimeters before and after

matches but it won’t be allowed in the

stands all this is a change from qatar’s

usual rules around alcohol normally

visitors can only buy it in some Hotel

bars and restaurants it’s also illegal

to be drunk in public as long as people

are behaving in a in a way that doesn’t

cause harm to themselves doesn’t cause

harm to others there’s no destruction of

property whether private or Republic and

people are generally

you know in good form then there

shouldn’t be an issue at all

when it comes to local laws and Qatar

and it seems that things are going to be

a little more relaxed during the World

Cup but that still leaves so many

questions about exactly which laws are

going to be enforced and how

that’s the thing about this world cup no

one quite knows how it’s going to unfold

and a lot of different people have a lot

of different takes on it

but perhaps what’s sometimes been lost

in all the discussions around Qatar as

hosts is another discussion about the

significance of the World Cup being held

in the Middle East for the first time

foreign

have you been to a football match before

we’re obviously very proud that FIFA is

going to be in an Arab country as a

person coming from the Middle East we’re

talking back in 2010 I was genuinely

very very happy for a country in the

Middle East to be able to host this Mega

sporting event to showcase our culture

so that for once I think the Arab world

would be associated with what we really

like Joy festivities and kind of steer

away from the perception of the Arab

world being Wars refugees terrorism

football has deeper Roots here than has

often been acknowledged and I think this

tournament is really an opportunity to

begin to kind of explore that history a

little bit more and to see the way that

the game has been truly globalized there

has to be a little bit more of an

acknowledgment that football

specifically is not the domain of sort

of one culture or one country or one

region the World Cup final will take

place in this Stadium on December 18th

it’s also qatar’s national day and

that’s no coincidence for Qatar this

tournament is about out showcasing

itself to the world and they’re hoping

the world likes what it sees
