While FIFA will soon be positioned, a member of the executive committee, the German Theo Zwanziger, is positioned for a withdrawal from the organization of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The former president of the German federation explains Monday in an interview with the German magazine Sport Bild. “The doctors say they can not take the responsibility to validate the organization of a World Cup in these conditions, “ he said.
Zwanziger also rejects the argument air-conditioned stadiums. “ They may be able to air condition the stadiums but the World Cup is not held in stadiums, he advanced. Fans from across the globe will come and travel this heat and the first case involving someone’s life would launch lawsuits. This is something for which members of the executive committee of FIFA do not want to answer. Personally, I believe that in the end the 2022 World Cup will not be held in Qatar. “
FIFA voted in 2010 for applications from Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, an election that had given rise to suspicions of corruption within the international body. If the option to shift the competition in the winter to fight against the high temperatures in the Gulf was then discussed the many obstacles and opposition organizers European championships would too large by Theo Zwanziger to really consider it.
