WM in the away: a year to Qatar

FIFA Football (likewise referred to as FIFA Soccer or simply FIFA) is the generic name of a series of arcade-type football computer game (and also not simulation) As well as because the intro of Football Ultimate Group (ET) in 2008 consists of attributes of DACHA, originally published by Electronic Arts in 1993 as well as later established in the kind of franchise.

The trip was not a good star. In the midst of the season, early April 2004, the FC Bayern Joked to Doha to a test match against the Stars of Qatar. The record champion defeated the Cream de la Cream of the Canal League, for which Stefan Ehrenberg and Mario Baler ran. But the Tinged Tour cost grains for catching up in the championship, which in the end Welder Bremen won. You had to tremble Michael Black, the key player had dragged the calf in the desert. On the one hand. On the other hand, the order kick brought mighty coal. Of 600,000 euros, media wrote.

Qatar's World Cup 2022 workers: 'We may as well just die here' | Guardian Investigations Even today, a year before the World Cup 2022, there is a ascent about partnerships with the Emirate, which bring a lot of money and a lot of criticism. Not only in Munich, around the world. Does the tournament help open an archaic society? Or does it offer a gigantic, petrodollar-funded stage for self-presentation? Thomas Hitzlsperger can understand the approach of the argumentation of the Protostar Group. One tries to strive for the old diplomatic idea of ​​change by approach. But my hope for improvement is limited, says the board of the VfB Stuttgart. The FIFA will not be difficult to show pictures for four weeks, which convey the impression of progress without changing something in the coming years. But I do not believe in a sustainable improvement alone through a World Cup. Russia was not more democratic and liberal after 2018, argues the ex-national player who has broken a sweatpiral with his coming-out 2014.

What was a long taboo in the mens football in this country, the host country is banned in the host country: Homosexuals threatened in prison terms, in extreme cases, according to Sharia, even the death penalty would be possible. Who can blame it Josh Cavalry, if he says, One of the biggest achievements as a professional footballer is to play for his country. To know that the World Cup takes place in a country that does not support homosexuals and brings us into mortal danger Anxiety. The 22-year-old professional of Adelaide United, who probably dared the outing, could theoretically participate in the World Cup, unless Australia qualifies and nominated him. Cavalry would barely travel to Qatar. Hitzlsperger retains this at least: I do not want to exclude it, if I can afford a meaningful contribution in the discussion about human rights and the rights of the LGBT community. Basically, a World Cup visit but does not appeal, says the 39-year-old.

The womens rights are also kicked in Qatar with feet

Maybe many football fans do not know gays personally and have little to do with the topic. But you have all the mothers, you have sisters and daughters. And they do not feel better in Qatar than my people. The womens rights are kicked in Qatar with feet, And that you close the eyes here and that all in purchasing, just to celebrate an undisturbed football festival, that scares me, makes me angry, leaves me desperate me, says Alfonso Santana, board member in the German Lesbian and Gay Association, an emotional Appeal to the football public.

In fact, Qatar 2020 was ranked 135 from the World Economic Forums Equal Opportunities Index in 153 countries. It fits in exactly this picture that Monika Stab says: Qatar has no longer a real woman national team. When games are pending, the appearance will be preserved for the public. To what extent is more support for the World Cup, I can not say. The 62-year-old is a pioneer of womens football. Only in the Federal Republic, from the mid-2000s specifically in the Middle East. She trained Bahrain and since September the no less controversial Saudi Arabia. In 2013 and 2014, it was the Canada women who are not even led today in the FIFA world ranking, although the World Association has made womens football for the condition for World Cup applicants.

Stab: I was hoping for 2014 that something can arise

We have achieved many things, from which U 14 up to the U 16 teams built, games made, even the West Arab Cup completed. In 2010, Qatar lost against Bahrain 0:19, we only lost 0: 3, Sights Stab back and annoys at the same time: I had hoped in 2014 that something can arise. Now I see the frustration because the work has not been continued. Thats the fact. I still have very good contact with the players who are very good contact with the players disappointed. There will be a workout from time to time, but you can not speak of an active team. Outwardly the appearance is preserved.

Sparkle and bills

License and certificates. These are two central points of criticism that executes at the emirate since December 2 of 2010. Since then FIFA boss Sept Latter drew the card with the words Qatar out of the envelope. There is a photo of that day in Zurich, presents as the Calais patron to the Emir the World Cup. Golden shiny trophy. Golden to the desert glow in the Vision 2030 of the then head of state Haman bin Khalifa Al Than. The vision is the future project of the Arab mini-state. The Sheikh and his heir apparent, Tamil bin Haman Al Than, bought in a big way in the sport one. Handball, athletics, Paris St. German, media rights on leg-Sports, the gigantic Traingsstätte Aspire Academy, Formula 1 or the CSS, an independent claims to the Center for Sports Safety. Sports celebrities as ambassadors like Zinedine Zidane or Pep Guardiola, according soon British media also David Beckham. Kolportierter cost point for a decade Beckham grin: just under 180 million euros. The cherry on the cake but the World Cup 2022. A project whose cost experts dollars estimated at 200 billion.

it was better on the sites?

A project that cost a life. A tragedy in a loop. Media reveal time and time again as guest workers die on the construction sites, the emirate vowed to improve. But it was really better? On some construction sites certainly, the organizers installed showcase camps. The arenas for 2022 are clean, FIFA and the organizing Supreme Committee say. Now, yes, Franz Beckenbauer, in whose name one day 6.7 million euros flowed into the emirate, saw no slaves at that time with a flying visit there, the statement promptly flew around the ears. For the world has seen it, the slaves. She looks back, it counts the dead, they criticize Qatar. Because of the World Cup, some say. While others believe that can not be played on the graves of disenfranchised migrant workers and the tournament must therefore be boycotted.

Boycott is and remains a powerful tool in sociopolitical conflicts. A boycott is a last resort, after which you can fall back though. An active role one can not but then play, Green Party politician Claudia Roth sums up the dilemma. The Vice President of the German Bundestag adds: It is right and important to insist that internationally recognized human rights standards are also at international sports events to support and comply with the organizers of these events these standards.

Katja Mueller Fahlbusch, German Middle East expert from Amnesty International, acknowledges: The Qatari government in 2017 initiated a series of reforms that are unique in the region. The problem: The reform implementation is half-hearted and not very consistently Last year, the implementation of the reforms has fallen significantly to a halt, although international pressure on Qatar was significant.

Thomson IL calls from the Boycott

Especially in Scandinavia, many have called for the rigid solution. Thomson IL had called for a boycott, more clubs followed. But in June, the Norwegian Association put his foot down. Instead, he engaged in a program of action for commitment to human rights and against Sport Washing. Thomson boss Ovid Planes believes, Our thrust has led to one of the largest public debate in Norway about the relationship between football, money, and human rights Few people in Norway was aware what actually in Qatar Los But many people were then. When they were called for a boycott in the course of our call about better informed. And just the media have reported critically about the World Cup. Swedens Association dispensed future on its many years usual January training camp of the national team in Qatar. The Finns plan to follow suit.

advance of the national team is PR disaster

An advance of the German national team on the other hand fell in March for the public relations disaster. The sign of the stars to come to Iceland with self bepinseltem Human Rights shirt anthem all due respect — that 24 hours later, a making of circulated on the net, provided a Shit storm in social media. Fans threw the Association the attitude before: Image before idealism.

Sylvia Schenck is already found that the DFB, which published a little respected position paper in May, is completely submerged in this topic. The head of the Working Group Sport by Transparency International Germany adds: There should be enough time and money to familiarize yourself with the backgrounds and to bring themselves into the debate. On the basis of facts, differentiated and brave to say: That went well in Qatar, but that and that must happen in the future. In Schencks eyes, FC Bavaria, for years training camp guest, would have to be better communicating, clear position. That is, he would have to say, according to the UN guidelines, what he does, why he makes it and where for him, for example, for details of a training camp, the limits. Then he would also be much better off his own fans.

Instead, these last showed a poster with board boss Oliver Khan, Supervisory Board Boss Herbert Gainer and the saying: Wash everything for money. Meanwhile, there is an application for the Annual General Meeting. Goal: to finish sponsoring with Qatar Airways. Imitating, but always accompanied by criticism. A bit like the 2004 TRIP.
