In doing so, this text offers up an imperative examination of Qatar’s desired objectives through their investment in global sport and sports events, as well as provides readers with an academic explanation on why major event hosts – such as Qatar – receive so much international scrutiny in the pre-event stage of the event hosting process.

Download or read book The Ambiguity behind Qatar s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup written by Caroline Mutuku and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polemic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Sport - Sport Economics, Sport Management, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: Football on the field has always been associated with ethereal beauty. As such, FIFA World Cup provides an opportunity to billions of spectators to reap the benefits of fun-making, a phenomenon that seems to be associated with social satisfaction. On the other hand, this international sporting event creates an opportunity for entrepreneurs, as well as the host countries to reap the related economic benefits. This implies that FIFA World Cup plays significant social and economic roles. Despite the benefits related to this international sporting event, it appears that Qatar, the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, might loss its fortune owing to the ambiguity surrounding the event, including the bidding process and suitability of the country. This is why it is suggested that FIFA should “change its World Cup vote procedures to ensure fairness and transparency” (Becker, 2013, p. 133). It is argued that the choosing Qatar as the host of 2022 FIFA World Cup was a surprise. This is evidenced by remarks that “the bestowment of the hosting privilege was a shock to many people worldwide; most news analysts thought the country didn’t stand a chance” (Beydoun & Baum, 2012 p. 12). Therefore, this argumentative essay will justify the existence of ambiguity behind Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Book excerpt: THE STORY THAT BROUGHT DOWN FIFA'S SEPP BLATTER. 'With every page of this book, we see just why FIFA desperately needs a complete overhaul' - Sun When FIFA awarded the tiny desert state of Qatar the rights to host the 2022 World Cup, the news was greeted with disbelief and allegations of corruption. How had a country with almost no football infrastructure or tradition, a high terror risk and searing summer temperatures of 50C beaten more established countries with stronger bids? The story behind the Qatari success soon developed into one of the greatest sporting scandals of our time. And when the Sunday Times Insight team received a cache of hundreds of millions of documents from a whistleblower, the contents of the FIFA Files became a global sensation, unearthing the corruption that lay at the heart of the bidding process. Now in this remarkable new book by the Sunday Times journalists at the centre of the investigation, Heidi Blake and Jonathan Calvert, comes the most comprehensive account yet of what happened and who was involved. Above all, it explains why, despite all the evidence, FIFA continues to support Qatar - even to the extent of publishing an edited and abbreviated report into the process that was immediately denounced by its original author. Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, The Ugly Game is undoubtedly the biggest sporting story of our times.

Download or read book Building a Better World Cup written by Priyanka Motaparthy and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In December 2010, the small Gulf state of Qatar won its bid to host the 2022 World Cup--a first for an Arab country. Over the next decade the country will undertake massive new construction to support the quadrennial world championship soccer games. Underpinning this push is a vast army of migrant workers, who comprise a staggering 94 percent of Qatar's workforce--1.2 million of its 1.7 million residents--the highest percentage of migrants to citizens in the world. Qatar's World Cup selection means that worker recruitment will reach new heights: media have reported that over a million additional workers may be needed to carry out World Cup-related construction. Yet the deeply problematic working conditions of migrant workers throughout the country mean that realizing Qatar's World Cup vision may depend on their abuse and exploitation unless adequate measures are taken to address the human rights problems widespread in the construction industry in Qatar. This report documents pervasive employer exploitation and abuse of workers in Qatar's construction industry, made possible by an inadequate legal and regulatory framework that grants employers extensive control over workers and prohibits migrant workers from exercising their rights to free association and collective bargaining. It also addresses the government's failure to enforce those laws that at least on paper are designed to protect worker rights. It examines why violations of workers' rights go largely undetected, and looks at the barriers that workers face in reporting complaints or seeking redress. The report includes recommendations to the government on legal reforms and implementation mechanisms, and to the relevant private sector actors on public commitments that could alleviate such abuses moving forward."--P. [4] of cover.

The beautiful game can be played almost anywhere that a relatively flat surface and a round ball exist. The rules stay the same: one ball, one field, two goals, two teams. Once every four years, one of the largest competitions takes place: the FIFA World Cup. In 2015, the sport was taken by storm due to corruption and vote-rigging as Qatar was awarded the right to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. While the small Arab nation prepares to host millions of visiting fans, world-class stadiums are being built or renovated, and workers continue to perish. One of the most significant contributors to FIFA's corrupt practices is the wealthy individuals and affluent organizations who invest heavily in notable sporting events. This paper investigates the corrupt practices and cultural clashes FIFA and Qatar have and will face with hosting the 2022 World Cup.
