Qatar World Cup 2022 started on November 21. This World Cup is a World Cup with many first matches. This is the first time in the history of the World Cup to be held in November or in the Middle East. In Qatar, the summer weather is so hot that it is impossible to hold sporting events. Qatar has invested heavily in hosting the World Cup. Several new air-conditioned stadiums have been built. The King of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is a rich man with a fortune of more than 600 trillion won, and is known to be very interested in football, such as the acquisition of the French football team ‘Paris Saint- Germain’.
Meanwhile, it is also being evaluated as ‘the most controversial host country in World Cup history’. The British ‘Guardian’ reported that 6,500 South Asian migrant workers had been killed in Qatar over 10 years from December 2010. Qatar mobilized South Asian migrant workers to build stadiums, hotels and highways, but many died them because of harsh working conditions. Qatar’s World Cup publicity ambassador, Khalid Salman, said in a broadcast interview that “homosexuality is mentally harmful,” sparking controversy over the ban on sexual minorities.
