Doha: The focus of the sports world shifts to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after the Tokyo Olympics, with a long-linger question for the safety and human rights Covid.
Unlike the game, which is played to the background of the case number soaring in Tokyo and without spectators to limit the transmission of the virus, the organizer of December 18, 1822, the soccer tournament insisted it would be played at the full stadium.
Qatar 2022 may be a truly global global sporting event with fans because Coronavirus appeared at the beginning of 2020, if the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 went ahead behind the closed door as an official of the International Olympic Committee had suggested.
That’s the commitment of a very rich and super-rich host to hold a “normal” tournament carried out by Doha to vaccinate traveling fans from countries where the launch of Jab is slower.
“Whatever happens, I hope we will have fans, including foreigners, at the stadium,” said Danyel Reiche, a professor at Georgetown University in Qatar.
“Qatar is a pioneer in developing the concept for sports during a pandemic and has held many events.” Qatar, the first Middle East host from the World Cup, along with Rwanda, the Olympic vaccine hub for athletes who head to Tokyo.
It also hosts the refugee team.
Qatar has promised to get a million doses of covid vaccines for unbaccinated fans traveling to the country of the Arab Desert Peninsula.
The details of the Jab tournament program have not been published, although 2022 the organizers went to Tokyo to observe prevention taken during the match.
“Tokyo has become a successful success with …
a little difference of overall opinion among those who attended restrictions on the spot,” said Simon Chadwick, director of the Eurasian sports center at the French Emlyon Business School.
“Qatar will do it well to follow and enhance the processes and procedures that have occurred during the Olympics.
The big difference of course is the presence of the audience.” With more than 16 months, a speckled bay country with construction sites and road repairs.
The country’s ruler, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, has recognized that the pandemic caused “delay” for some infrastructure projects “but it was a very limited delay”.
“Preparation …
All will be completed in the coming months,” he said about the tournament which according to officials will contribute around $ 20 billion to the Qatar economy.
Three of the eight World Cup stadiums, all airconditioned even though the tournament has been transferred to cooler winter months, still under construction.
The Qatar multi-billion-dollar football infrastructure, most of them still have not been tested, will undergo a trial when hosting the Arab Cup from November 30 to December 18.
And promising that infrastructure will be ready for tournaments, Qatar has repeatedly guaranteed to record human rights and workers.
In May, the secret police arrested a Kenyan security guard that had published an article about the fate of migrant workers in a country that depends on expat workers.
He was charged with receiving money from foreign agents who pushed protest from the rights group.
While the campaigners accused the exploitation businessman, Qatar insisted it had done more than any country in this region to improve the welfare of workers.
“The speed of change will not be enough to convince some critics,” Chadwick said.
“There are (also) differences of opinion among conservatives in the Qatar and community government that the country has been forced to change too much.” In February, Qatar denied reports in the British Guardian newspaper about the death of excessive workers, insisting of the figure was unreliable but refused to publish the actual amount.
Some fans and commentators are worried that Doha may not offer visitors the same experience as the past tournament.
“I have been to many DJs on the beach with thousands of people in Doha already in 2005 and 2006,” said 2022 Ambassador and former Netherlands International Ronald de Boer, who lived in Doha for five years.
“Doha will be ready for this number of fans, they can really hold a big event.
And don’t worry that you can’t drink beer.” While beer will be available in the fan zone, restaurant and hotel, the possibility of ordinary ticket holders will not be able to drink inside the stadium, with alcohol confined in the outside area.
The decision has not been officially made.
But those in the premium hospitality suite will be able to access the bar which is fully stocked in a pitch view.
