Book Description

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 Description

This book offers the first, full academic analysis of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. Adopting an international relations perspective, the authors critically interrogate the politics and controversy that has surrounded arguably the most controversial sports event ever. 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. On the back of this international scrutiny, this text also provides the first full analysis on how such negative scrutiny has forced Qatar to implement various social-political changes at home.

Book Description

On December 2nd, 2010, the committee of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) announced the host countries for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup. The World Cup is an international football tournament that occurs every four years and is considered the largest single-activity sporting event in the world, drawing fans from every continent. To host a world cup a country must submit a bid and successfully win the evaluation process against other respective countries that have also rivaled a bid. For the 2018 World Cup, Russia was deemed the most suitable to host out of 11 total bids. For the 2022 World Cup, Qatar became the first middle eastern nation to win the bidding process and become eligible to host the competition. Qatar's bidding process has been regarded as the most controversial world cup out of any in the tournament's existence. This is due to the nations cultural values that have conflicted with the mission of FIFA. The football governing body has a mission to make football truly global, diverse and inclusive, for the benefit of the entire world. Qatar is an Islamic nation that upholds conservative customs. Homosexuality is condemned, alcohol is prohibited, and has one of the biggest gender gaps in the entire world. FIFA's guiding principles focuses on four areas of importance that would help future of the organization and football: governance, transparency, accountability and diversity. Yet, the Arabian Peninsula of Qatar will host the World Cup in 2022 because it was voted by the congress of FIFA to be the most suitable nation in 2010. During the preparation process, Qatar has received criticism due to its labor exploitation in the construction zones of the stadiums, its responses to the safety of the LGBTQ community, and allegations of bribery to FIFA officials. This thesis analyzes the cultural differences that make Qatar hosting the World Cup more challenging and how it has impacted the future of football.

Book Description

Football, also known as soccer in the United States (U.S.), is the world's most popular sport. 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.

Book Description

“The book that reminds you exactly what’s wrong with FIFA” (Esquire UK): This meticulously reported account by two award-winning, investigative journalists at Britain’s The Sunday Times explains how the 2022 World Cup was secured for Qatar—a key element in the ongoing, international FIFA controversy. When the tiny desert state of Qatar won the rights to host the 2022 World Cup, the news was greeted with shock and disbelief. How had a country with almost no soccer infrastructure or tradition, a high terror risk, and searing summer temperatures, beaten more established countries with stronger bids? The story behind the Qatari success soon developed into a global news sensation. In 2014 The Sunday Times Insight team in the UK spilled the secrets of a bombshell cache of hundreds of millions of secret documents, which were leaked by a whistleblower. In forensic detail, they reported how Mohamed Bin Hammam, Qatar’s top soccer official, used his position to help secure the votes that Qatar needed to win the bid. The investigative team spent three months painstakingly piecing together Bin Hammam’s activities and reporting on cash handouts, lavish junkets, and evidence of payments to soccer officials around the world. Now in this remarkable book by The Sunday Times journalists at the center of the investigation, Heidi Blake and Jonathan Calvert, comes a comprehensive account of what happened and who was involved. A bestseller in the UK, The Ugly Game is undoubtedly the biggest sporting story of recent times.

Book Description

There was great debate over Qatar getting the right to host the 2022 World Cup - they were rank outsiders when the bidding process took place. There are a lot of misinformed responses to this topic, and many of them focus on bribes. Now I have no clue if there was bribery - there may well have been, FIFA as an institution is seldom corruption-free - but there are also legitimate reasons why Qatar was granted the event. As Qatar is not a traditional footballing nation, nearly $100 billion has been spent on infrastructure and stadiums. Qatar has had to construct eight stadiums from scratch, of which seven have so far been opened. The first-time spectators may attend two separate stadiums to witness two matches in one day. The first stadiums to feature air conditioning technology in the bleachers and on the grounds. The first World Cup in the Middle East. In the first World Cup, a Nigerian will sing the theme song and participate in the opening ceremony, semi-automatic offside system will be coming into force for the World Cup. New rules and many more about FIFA World Cup 2022 and Qatar are in the book for you to know. To get a copy, click the Buy button.
