Some say that the wealthy and tiny gulf emirate doesn't deserve to host international football’s biggest tournament, arguing that its conservative culture will be an obstacle to the event’s success.
Several Arab countries such as Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia have competed to host the FIFA World Cup bid in previous years, but all failed.
Egypt's “zero vote” has become a common phrase in addressing the failure of President Hosni Mubabrak’s ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) to maintain Egypt’s political and cultural weight in the international arena.
Pan-Arab newspapers, which regularly express anti-Mubarak sentiments because of his close relationship with the United States and Israel, praised the Qatari achievement.
Algerian Echorouk wrote in the headline of its Friday's issue "Qatar defeated America", before going on to stress the failure of Mubarak's Egypt to a achieve a similar victory.
"Qatar totally rejected using the adjective Arab in either their file or their campaign for the World Cup bid. They stressed all the time that they are Middle Eastern: a clear message for Israelis that they are not excluded in the Qatari bid,"
In its advertising campaign, Qatar’s executive committee for the 2022 World Cup bid included an Israeli child speaking about his wish to see the Israeli team playing with Arab teams in Doha.
"They [Arab and Israelis] would get to know each other,” said the Israeli child in the video.
Israelis are banned from entering the majority of Arab states, but Qatari officials stressed that there will be no obstacles for Israelis entering Qatar.
"All nations participating in the FIFA World Cup are welcome," Hassan Abdulla Al-Thawadi, the chief executive of Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid, responded to a question about whether Israel would be welcomed if it qualified.
As you see clearly that the FIFA is only a big show and to distract the World from the reality. FIFA is a Zionist Elite club and Qatar Elite belongs to them with Israel. It's all about money and distraction.
Look to the occult numbers: 22nd Football World Cup in 2022.
count the 2022= 2+0+2+2=6
