Qatar - In the spotlight of the World Cup | DW Documentary
The 2022 Soccer World Cup in Qatar is hugely controversial. The allegations range from corruption in the awarding of the tournament to Qatar to harsh criticism of the host nation for its human rights record, and its World Cup carbon emissions.
Even as the World Cup gets underway, there’s been no letup in the criticism. The decision to hold the prestigious sports event in the middle of the desert, in the small Gulf state of Qatar, has been controversial from the start. FIFA officials are accused of accepting bribes to award hosting rights to Qatar. Qatar itself, meanwhile, is accused of exploiting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to build its World Cup stadiums. Then there are the huge carbon emissions. The tournament was moved to winter to avoid Qatar’s summer temperatures of 50+ degrees Celsius. But even in November, the stadiums need significant air conditioning.
Journalist Christa Hofmann shows how the conservative Muslim emirate is looking to establish itself on the global stage with mega sports events like the World Cup. She visited the newly built stadiums and spoke with migrant workers - as well as Qatari officials, World Cup fan representatives, and Qatar and Middle East analysts.

I see how Węstern countries sanction countries such as cuba, russia, iran, venezuela, belårus,myanmar because of the lack of freedom of speec and lgbtq rights,but they don't sanction Qatar, sauai arabia, china,vietnam because of the lack of freedom of speec and lgbtq rights. #Western Hypocrisy

And why does anybody need to be sanctioned? Isn’t it up to each country to decide what is right for them? Which rules they want to have in THEIR territory? Why should it be up to Germany or up to the Brits or US to decide what’s the best way to do things? It’s an overreach. If other countries want to change they will do it, from within, when it’s time. And I don’t think having two guys being able to get married is the greatest achievement of humanity. I don’t care how much flack I get for this but that’s what I think.

No. I am not even watching this world cup. I just feel for them because I happen to be a luckier Indian (or could be from any country) who had the privilege of education, got a PhD in science and worked in 4 different countries. Still working hard to make an impact in the world. Directly or indirectly, everyone wants to benefit from slavery (real slavery/corporate slavery). Well, nasty things like the old-style slavery has only been done by a certain groups of humans on earth. A lot of those humans dont do it anymore because they dont need it anymore. But dont forget, there were human zoos in Belgium just a few decades back. They killed millions in Congo just for money. So humans have not changed as such. Qatar is just directly exploiting because it can. It is just an unfortunate situation.

@Onni Hütten they didn't force them to come YES I agree with that but their situations did force them. But what the the Qatar government and their contractors did was made them hook in a trap that they can't escape . They were forced to do labours . They weren't allowed to change jobs if they do they would end up in jail. They weren't allowed on the residential area except for one place which was out the city area near to a sewage pond .The government needed to build the infrastructure projects within a limited time so they send scout to some of the countries which have unemployment even those workers have low literacy rates that was an advantage for the government . The contractors take these workers passport from them fearing that they would run away.and they would be given contract to sign when they 1st land in the country. The contract would be in Arabic so that ,so it's a disadvantage to the workers because they can't even understand a word. Even if they ask their superiors they could easily fool them .Just because u r born into an abusive family doesn't mean anyone can abuse u right ? If the government can spent so much money for useless things how come they can't provide them better living conditions, those workers put their blood and and sweat to into that many young healthy people died. Does ur family send u to some country to work and comeback in coffin? I think u have never seen the living conditions of people who are immigrant workers there. They attract tourists by showing those high rise buildings and developed areas but in reality those people who gave their everything and suffered end up getting paid like peanuts. While the government who did all those horrible things to the people after taking advantage of them chills in their luxurios mansions . It's not just Qatar other Gulf countries are on this too.

Here’s the thing with Qatar, just like any other countries, there’s inequality. And it all depends on your profession & passport. Those who hold Western passports would most likely get a very good salary package & would enjoy a work-life balance. But if you come from countries as mentioned in this documentary like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, then prepare to become a slave. Even the domestic helpers from countries like Indonesia or Philippines is also at risk. However, if you arw from these countries but are professionals like doctor, engineers, you can also get a good life but not as much as Western people. An Asian Engineer, will not get the same salary as let’s say a Bristish engineer even if you are working in the same company & have the same position. Colonial mentality in the Middle East is rampant. But of course, the locals/Qataris are the ones who reap all the great benefits of their country.

Nice to see that Qatar is trying but Dubai was built with the same conditions for migrant workers and they are likely taking a page from their book as a newly wealthy nation in the gulf. They seem like genuinely good people but they are trying to make a modern world while still holding old world ideals and building on authoritarianism. If oil and gas is their only source of wealth, either the wells will run dry or the world will turn to different sources of energy. I'm sure they will hold onto a great deal of wealth still in the future though somehow and I hope they can remain a peaceful and sustainable nation while working towards equality.

Beduins can host 10 World Cups in a row and still they ll have sand in their ears. Can somebody name any Qatari champion in boxing/wrestling/mma/tennis/volleyball/handball/basketball? They simply do not have talent for sports. Biggest excitement for them is to smoke shisha,drink tea and watch camel racing . When they go outside of muslim world they stare as a hungry street dogs seeing women in shorts and bikinies.

This wasn't a documentary just an advert paid by Qatar. Full of propaganda. No mention of slavery and just "overreported" deaths of migrant workers aka slaves which they've been known to abuse and take their passports. They didn't even mention the bribery scandal of FIFA and how Qatar betrayed their assurances for foreigners. Stopping those wearing rainbow clothing and showing outright bigotry towards women and lgbt.
Qatar is a shinning example of visionary leadership, but also a society that values education, hard work, and sacred pragmatism . I only wished as Africans, we can learn a lot from Qatar’s unprecedented modernization drive! It’s never too late!

Can I respectfully ask what you mean by visonary leadership? Qatar has spent decades trying to diversify its economy, but today its petro and petrochemical industries make up 95% of exports, if you add energy subsidies, e.g. high-energy aluminium smelting at 2%, then exports are basically 100% fossile fuel-derived. As rich nations gradually decarbonize, there will be a tipping point where Qatars income will collapse, as demand from low and middle-income countries will only support a much smaller income. So far diversification is exactly the same as for other small Persian Gulf states, based mostly on tourism and almost identical wishes to become financial centers. Tourism is also currently subsidized by fossile fuel income, when that icome dries out, they will compete for the few rich tourist who want to take holidays in November-January, don't mind the reduced freedoms and don't mind the narrow scope of touristic offerings. It will not work out. Financial sectorwise, they can of course all set themselves up of off-shores etc., but those setups provides almost no income for host nations (that is their whole purpose). Full spectrum financial centers only exist in vibration economies where there are industries and inovations worth financing. Basically, the ruling familiy is paying their citizens enough not to rock the boat. When the ruling family cannot do so anymore, what will stop the country from collapsing?
Jealous German media. Double standards.
Back in 1830 when the British brought my ancestors from India to Guyana on slave ships man woman and children. And work them seven days a week on the sugar plantation from sun up to sun down. No body ever called that inhumane or slavery conditions. Or even teach this history in school.

Would you allow these same workers to freely travel or work in European countries? Will you simplify visa rules for foreign workers like the GCC? Can a common man even get a visit visa to Germany! None of these are available in any of the European countries now? But anyone can travel anywhere and work in all Gulf countries. They don't look at your profession, money, color or religion.

Well it's different when everyone around you knows and talks about football since you were a kid, at home/school, break consists of football games, and debates on statistics become a serious yet playful way to socialize; like even adults talk about them for fun, a way to connect between generations. After a while it just become a part of life and an activity to bond in some parts of the world. Kinda like trends in social media in that it's ubiquitous permeating social life, only that this is actually healthy.
