Can Qatar Lose The Right to Host the World Cup?
May 20, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
The Fifa president Sepp Blatter made the startling disclosure yesterday that he could not rule out a rerun of the voting for the right to host the 2022 World Cup finals which was controversially won by the tiny Arab emirate of Qatar
Blatter […] said that a Fifa inquiry into claims made by The Sunday Times that there was corruption in the vote could lead to the Fifa executive committee (ExCo) voting again. It would represent the biggest U-turn in the governing body’s history.
This remains a distant possibility, but the very fact that it’s possible is giving the tiny emirate a heavy heart. Think of it: This is a golden opportunity for those who felt buyers’ remorse for giving Qatar the hosting rights to change their minds.
