The stadiums build for the 2010 world cup in South Africa are utilized by PSL (South African football league) teams and Rugby teams. They were using dilapidated stadiums before the world cup. The stadiums did not struggle to find tenants.
The massive amount of money that Qatar shelled out is insignificant to them. Their priority wasn’t being profitable it’s getting their name out there as a tourist destination and buying peoples affection basically. They’re trying to change the perception of themselves at any cost

It does’nt make financial sense when you have to build 90% of the stadiums.

One of the stadiums will be completely prefabricated and dismantled after the tournament, with the aim to be reused elsewhere.

The reporters are blowing this out of proportion. Qatar is building a new $49 billion dollar city which features 6 islands Railways and Bridges. Airport They want to be like Dubai, a tourist destination. The actual cost of the stadiums are around $7billion. And they could have hosted the world cup without spending the extra $222billion. But they wanted all the new infrustructure and cities to be ready even before the world cup, so tourists and fans can come and experience it. That will make them come again in the future.

My issue with these reports is that when Western Europe or the US are awarded a world event we never see them. Once they are awarded to outside countries all of a sudden it is an issue.
Western media always lies about our Stadiums in South Africa. All of them are in use and host football, rugby union, rugby 7s and concerts. South Africa also has one of the best leagues in Africa, quit lying, smh. No stadiums were demolished post world cup as well, you guys have no ethics
Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society
FIFA's requirements are just a smoke screen. The most important thing is how much the potential host is willing to pay the top officials with the power to make the decision.
I wish they added to the video that while the World Cup might be the most watched sporting event in the world most countries don’t see a dime of the television revenue as that goes all to FIFA
The best sport in the world combined with the most popular sporting event in the world…..run by wrong people. It’s sad but I still will watch it, I mean everyone does.
But many channels especially in Europe would boycott & not broadcast this FIFA edition. Even public viewing hostings will be restricted as a sign of protest. This FIFA will probably have the lowest tv rating in recent years..
WTF, South Africa is a success story of FIFA. All stadiums still in operation and hosting many sports codes and events not to mention improve infrastructure. All the fancy editing and figures but your information is wrong 👎
I'm shocked as a South African, I don't even know what you talk about!!! no 2010 built stadium has been demolished, one changed it's name and every stadium is still intact
It's a lie that South Africa demolished 2 stadiums after the world cup. Only 5 new stadiums were build and all of them operational. Other stadiums that were used were already existing ones that needed to be refurbished.
What if FiFa adjusted to the capacity of the countries? I would love to see them plan at random pitches and fields and only villages coming to watch. Would be so cool.
As an engineer here in Qatar, it’s worth saying that it wasn’t that expensive. Stadiums costed 9B not 229; but the media loves oversimplifying when it’s affecting ‘third world countries’
@@navyseal1689 well, how arrogant of them to add up the new airport, metro, highways and almost all hotels. These things are here to stay, and there are more to come.
If it happen in India in future... I can assure none of the stadiums in India would go wasted... They either get converted to cricket stadiums or would be used for athletic events
The UK is finished, Scotland is leaving the UK, and as for Russia, they deserved to host the world cup prior to 2018 neither Russia or the Soviet Union had held the games
@@juskahusk2247 according to your own dreams and the western media.The figure is taken from a statistic about 6500 migrant that totally died from 2012 to 2022.It wasnt directly linked to the worldcup.The west took the statistic to their satsfaction and changed the story to 6500 construction workers. Thats why no one can prove that number from a reliable source.Its called Hypocrisy of the west and its known everywhere.
it is crazy how this video did not address South Africa. South Africa hosted the best world cup and continues to benefit from the legacy till today. This video ignored that fact and did not bother to mention. So yes, i understand the content of this video but SOUTH AFRICA IS A SUCCESS STORY which deserved to be told.
NBC is a hypocrite they profit off televising the Olympics, which has proven to be a CASH DRAIN on the host country . Hosting cities build BILLIONS of dollars of facilities for only a couple weeks of use. They never point out the carbon emissions of these games either !!
@@royboy7401 yes I agree. No one disputed that but In regards to fifa world cup, south Africa was a success story. All the faculties are in full use. Nothing was demolished like stated in the buildings and all the developments sites have boomed over the years. It’s the bias and lack of coverage on this that’s making this video not sit well with me. Every video I watched on the fifa World Cup gave South Africa it’s praises but they just lied and made up numbers… I am not even south African
It's only bad if you have to build the stadiums. If your a country like the United States you have a lot of football stadiums already built to host the world cup and the supporting infrastructure like hotels in cities to make due. I think this is why the world cup after Qatar was awarded to North America cause everything is already built basically.
It's a good look politically for FIFA if expenses won't go through the roof, as everyone knew the Qataris really wanted to flex their near-unlimited wealth. However FIFA also knew the vastly overbudget Montreal Olympics put a damper on subsequent Olympic bids. But eventually they'll have to go to another developing country (e.g. SE Asia) and they'll have to do the whole stadium building again. North America is oversaturated with pro sports and I don't see how another World Cup would expand the game in the continent.
@@Avantime I think the world cup is going to start be divided by countries in a region more often. There could be a South American world cup or a EU world cup. I think just giving it to one country with all the corruption allegations going on is a mistake.
THE COMMENT ABOUT South Africa DEMOLISHING 2 World Cup STADIUMS IS A LIE ALL OF THE World Cup STADIUMS ARE STILL THERE USED BY LOCAL TEAMS AND EVENTS LIKE FESTIVALS
As much I am not a fan of the WC at Qatar, the journalism are totally missing the point why Qatar is putting so much money into(getting) this WC. Most previous host had some type of infrastructure and stadiums already. Whereas Qatar has actual plans for all their stadiums outside of soccer and those infrastructures plans where already planned nonetheless to attract tourism. Some of the stadiums have been already used for other tournaments and will be hosting AFC Asian Cup in 2023 who also happened to be the current champions. On top of that this WC was meant to be creating a new portal and showcase the city on TV all over the world and attract tourism. It might not seem like profitable now but it will pay off later because Qatar is trying to not be fully depending on energy/oil money and make it a tourism spot like Dubai. Most places that haven been hosting were already attractive tourist spots already whereas Qatar, most people don’t even know where it is at on the world map.
building 8 stadiums with approx. 50k capacity each in a country of just 2,7 million people..... Qatar is lucky that is a mega-rich country but for any other small nation something like this would make no sense.
@@iammahatab I already said I’m not a fan of the WC at Qatar and I’m well aware of all the corruption and human rights violation to the green washing. I’m just pointing out something bc there is no point of saying how much more Qatar has spent than other countries bc most other countries had already all their infrastructure and stadiums in place. Qatar only got it possibly done on the back of cheap migrant workers otherwise that number would probably be double or triple that amount
@@iammahatab the World Cup is an event for sports fan and the elite. I would’ve never supported this. I’m an immigrant myself and so was my mom. She migrated twice. I live now in the US and the US is not much better but at least in the US there is a way to a better life. Qatar on the other hand doesn’t care about anyone but their own people. There are many to blame and this World Cup is probably the worst one so far. I already hearing there are a lot of issues and it makes me never want to visit Qatar from just the way they have handled everything.
It's not true Mane Garrincha in Brasilia, Brazil turned into a bus depot. It's not used on a constant basis, but it does hold a few matches per year. We could say it's more or less like Wembley in the UK.
It's a crazy vanity project, even more so than the Olympics because very few new host nations actually have a chance to do well, and only a select handful of countries have the talent to actually win the tournament. It doesn't look good at home politically if the host team crash out in the group of 16, or worse have them lose all their games. Qatar could do it because it has near unlimited money and it's an absolute monarchy that could afford to care more about international prestige than domestic politics.
The 200billion + expenditure goes beyond World Cup, its apart of Qatar 2030 vision, the world cup just made us accelerate a few things, Doha metro open on 2019 that cost 30+ billion, hamad international airport open in 2014 for around 15 billion, majority of the money is and going into developing Lusail which was estimated at 45 billion from around 2012, a city that consists of around 19 districts n a cooling system, in addition major underground transport networks in Doha n other places. Its not limited to the world cup, the word cup just became a part of it like the icing on the already baked cake, the building of the stadiums was the highest 15 billion in total. A portion of the money isn't even spent as yet...do your jobs!
@@organizedchaos4559 excluding the stadiums, the majority will be used such as the transport system,airport etc...at the end of the day its not a lost as we have trillions of dollars to make from LNG and oil so its okay

USA, UK, France, and Korea Republic are the only country i think that has a capability to host many sporting events without needing to build a new stadiums
In Qatar there was a brilliant idea, they have built many easy to assemble/deassemble stadiums. They will deassemble those stadiums after the world cup and donates it to countries in need for them. Qatar gained a lot out of this, it might not has the same effect with other countries, Qatar is now known around the world even though it's a tiny state, they will boost tourism in Qatar, make new relationships around the world, become Known by itself is a very important gain. So, if what they are saying in this video is true, it doesn't mean it applies to everyone, Qatar has avoided the negatives and gained all the benefits of hosting the WC.
I'm South African and I dont know of a stadium that was demolished and we use the stadiums for soccer, rugby and cricket matches. Please don't perpetuate fake news
Honestly I do think when it comes to huge events like these, including Olympics, they should just find couple profitable locations they rotate. And maybe add locations based on actual sustainability long term.
sounds boring. tourism money is good for developing countries, but maintenance is also a cost. building generates a lot of revenue for developers, but already having stadiums in use is a net benefit to everyone else.
Certainly no third world countries, Communist or Islamist countries should be allowed to host it (too many human rights violations, too low on human development index). USA is the most capable, the data has proven it, they should be permanent hosts of all Olympics and all World Cups, so either USA or another First World democratic christian-dominant country, such as in Western Europe or Australia. (Sorry Canada & NZ, can't trust you while Justin "Bieber" Trudeau and Jacinda "Burqa" Ardern are in charge)
The difference is of course, if you design a World Cup for 3 months, you will fail. When you design and construct stadiums, and 60% of the cost to construct it goes to contractors, you will see costs balloon. However, when you design a World Cup for 10+ years in the future, you will succeed. You can develop infrastructure, you get more people participating in football related events, you can create jobs for the future. Russia 2018 creates over 100,000 jobs in the country, hospitals, and improved ambulance routes. 1994 USA is one of the main reasons why the United States has a competitive football team and a professional league. Qatar 2022 is why Qatar’s population has been increasing at insane rates. It’s not just about the tournament, it’s for what’s next. What comes next for Qatar, is a national team inside of the top 50 in FIFA World Rankings, the defense of their Asian championship, their clubs competing in the Asian Champions League, one of the most visited countries on earth, hundred of thousands of jobs creates, improved diplomatic relations, and international recognition. The World Cup isn’t as one dimensional as most people look at it, clearly shown in this video that most people don’t look at the other side properly.
Qatar infrastructure amongst the best infrastructures in the world.. I visited alot of countries but I've never seen any competition at all..Best of luck Qatar ❤ for making the world cup magnificent..
You cant put the price of world up on a spreadsheet. There are all sorts of unintended benefits. Loads of people/businesses set up shop there. Have their feet on the ground and make decisions to move there or open up shop at a later date. Qatar is well placed because they have an airline and in transit area for the whole world. They do need to differentiate from dubai though.
I'm Qatari, the price tag is poorly misunderstood. It includes many multi billion dollars development projects that was planned for way before we won the bid in 2010. Like building new airport instead of the old (single runway) airport. Or new sea port to export more of our petrochemical products ( notice how completely unrelated to sports) Or modernizing and extending our roads to combat traffic (in a country where cheap petrol prices make people drive more instead of using public transportation)…etc. Along the way, the conditions of foreign workers have improved significantly. Some parts of the labour system were completely overhauled. The Kafala system was scrapped. Their accommodations were improved. Even FIFA acknowledged the reforms. I'm sick and tired of this anti-Qatar BS. Some just want to condition social and cultural changes to host such events. That's nonsensical, as it's unrelated to any of the qualifications in the bidding process. You can't just transform a socially conservative this easily. Some exceptions will be made for alcohol consumption in public during the tournament. (You can drink in Qatar but only in your house or in hotel bar). But even a guy like me who is fairly western minded, see a benefit of our way of life. We don't have to worry about drunk drivers while we are driving, or deal with violence caused by alcohol. You are all welcome to Qatar.
It's probably better to build the necessary infrastructures in 2 or 3 countries and allow the countries to host the event in turn... This can work for both the World Cup and Summer Olympics. I think it will be meaningful to host the Summer Olympics in Greece.
The good thing about Qatar, the country is on a developing stage. Spending billions was inevitable. Winning the FIFA bid was timely. Win win for Qatar.
New world class stadiums need to be build. The world cup is a prestigious sport, the biggest single sport event in the world. So you can not host the world at an nfl stadium or some average looking stadium nope. It has to look beautiful
The stadium used to host the first game of 2014 world cup is now the home ground of Corinthians, one of the biggest South American Soccer clubs. It's used more than the NFL stadiums.
06:44 Yo South Africa hasn’t demolished ANY WC stadium. They’re used for football, rugby and concerts to varying degrees but all still standing. ZA hosted AFCON 2013 in 5 of those venues. As to the inflated construction costs that’s partly attributable to collusion.
So USA wanted to host again even before 30 years has passed and only 6 other countries (hosts) had an opportunity to do so between 1994 and before Qatar? Come on...
I'll never forget how fifa insisted on it's big game playing out of sight of poverty and underdeveloped areas.. If a stadium is fit to play.. the surrounding shouldn't matter, if most doesn't have a fortune to build luxury home they shouldn't be discriminated from having a match near them in favor of the rich neighborhoods
USA and Europe countries wouldn't have any problem with hosting FIFA World cup as they already 90% of Stadiums and Infrastructure needed Because of NFL, Premier league etc, but for most other countries it would be a financial nightmare.
😂 😂 😂 😂 That's what you are pushing with all this propaganda so that only USA and European countries can host World Cups.... The 2022 FIFA world cup is going to Qatar 🇶🇦 deal with it
@@everythinginside8505 I have no problem with countries wasting billions of dollars for stadiums that end up being bus depot after the World Cup , I’m saying US and Europe wouldn’t have that kind of problem because they have plenty of World Cup worthy stadiums already, that’s why North America won the 2026 World Cup bid with such an ease and no controversy.
These are more like festivals, as the festival gets over the same spike in economic recovery is rare. Now the case of Qatar, they are trying to make another Dubai, but that only time will tell as how much they gain from these new infrastructure, especially considering there population
If you are serious about the issues of the rights of foreign workers that exist in the Arab Gulf, then I urge you to research more about the developments that have taken place, as most of the problems have already been solved, but if you only hate these countries, but if you only hate them, there is nothing wrong with you hating these countries On a real issue like: they are not democracies or because they depend on fossil fuels

It’s World Cup corruption my guy, nothing adds up 😂
It is called sportswashing . That is not to make profits
The reporters are blowing this out of proportion. Qatar is building
a new $49 billion dollar city which features 6 islands
Railways and Bridges.
Airport
They want to be like Dubai, a tourist destination. The actual cost of the stadiums are around $7billion. And they could have hosted the world cup without spending the extra $222billion. But they wanted all the new infrustructure and cities to be ready even before the world cup, so tourists and fans can come and experience it. That will make them come again in the future. There were already plans to spend over $200billion even before they won the bid for the world cup in 2006.
Roads and many more
Because they had to build everything
Not even a single stadium was demonstrated from South Africa from the 2010 fifa world cup.

South Africa did not demolish any World Cup stadiums 👀
Are you from South Africa?

My issue with these reports is that when Western Europe or the US are awarded a world event we never see them. Once they are awarded to outside countries all of a sudden it is an issue.
That's because western Europe and the US already have most of the infrastructure so there's much less money involved
Lol, the US only put 500 million into world cup preparation 😆
Bingo!
@@fgsaramago You mean old infrastructure built with slave money?
@@unknown6715 yup, slaves saved from being murdered in Africa

Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society
@Mark Reeves hi, isnt the brotherhood a myth?
@Mark Reeves oh really, i just saw his website, interesting.i will leave him a message.
FIFA's requirements are just a smoke screen. The most important thing is how much the potential host is willing to pay the top officials with the power to make the decision.
Yeah that's sad they don't really care about the game.
I wish they added to the video that while the World Cup might be the most watched sporting event in the world most countries don’t see a dime of the television revenue as that goes all to FIFA
Same with Olympics.
They did explain that. 2:24
lol wow
The best sport in the world combined with the most popular sporting event in the world…..run by wrong people. It’s sad but I still will watch it, I mean everyone does.
But many channels especially in Europe would boycott & not broadcast this FIFA edition. Even public viewing hostings will be restricted as a sign of protest. This FIFA will probably have the lowest tv rating in recent years..
"we didnt have socceer stadiums, we had football stadiums" ... this sentence just hurts
Which minutes
😂😂😂

Lol
Simply 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WTF, South Africa is a success story of FIFA. All stadiums still in operation and hosting many sports codes and events not to mention improve infrastructure. All the fancy editing and figures but your information is wrong 👎
Even GauTrain is still in use 10yrs later and it was built for The World Cup.
name the 2 stadiums you say south africa demolished because they couldnt take care of such lies
Talk about lazy journalism yoh 😒 they probably think we don't have data to see this video and despute it
I'm shocked as a South African, I don't even know what you talk about!!! no 2010 built stadium has been demolished, one changed it's name and every stadium is still intact
South Africa did not demolish any stadium, stop misleading people 😅
Which two stadiums were demolished by the South African government (post 2010 fifa World Cup) in order to save money?
It's a lie that South Africa demolished 2 stadiums after the world cup. Only 5 new stadiums were build and all of them operational. Other stadiums that were used were already existing ones that needed to be refurbished.
I think USA can host any sports with spending extra because they already have good infrastructure for every sports ..
true🤣🤣
What if FiFa adjusted to the capacity of the countries? I would love to see them plan at random pitches and fields and only villages coming to watch. Would be so cool.
As an engineer here in Qatar, it’s worth saying that it wasn’t that expensive. Stadiums costed 9B not 229; but the media loves oversimplifying when it’s affecting ‘third world countries’
I appreciate your information
Because they only build stadium right? No need place to stay and transportation. 🤦♀️
Qatar is a third world country?
Yeah. And how many underpaid workers did Qatar exploit and how many died creating that stadium
@@navyseal1689 well, how arrogant of them to add up the new airport, metro, highways and almost all hotels. These things are here to stay, and there are more to come.
If it happen in India in future... I can assure none of the stadiums in India would go wasted... They either get converted to cricket stadiums or would be used for athletic events
Hosting the world cup is just a part of Qatar's development to become an attractive country for tourism and business

Thats why no one can prove that number from a reliable source.Its called Hypocrisy of the west and its known everywhere.
In India the costliest stadium costed $100M to build. India would have built all the 8 stadiums from scratch within $1B😀
it is crazy how this video did not address South Africa. South Africa hosted the best world cup and continues to benefit from the legacy till today. This video ignored that fact and did not bother to mention. So yes, i understand the content of this video but SOUTH AFRICA IS A SUCCESS STORY which deserved to be told.
You know it’ll be that way when you hear “soccer” seconds into the video.
NBC is a hypocrite they profit off televising the Olympics, which has proven to be a CASH DRAIN on the host country . Hosting cities build BILLIONS of dollars of facilities for only a couple weeks of use. They never point out the carbon emissions of these games either !!
Want some cheese with that whine? 😅
@@royboy7401 yes I agree. No one disputed that but In regards to fifa world cup, south Africa was a success story. All the faculties are in full use. Nothing was demolished like stated in the buildings and all the developments sites have boomed over the years. It’s the bias and lack of coverage on this that’s making this video not sit well with me. Every video I watched on the fifa World Cup gave South Africa it’s praises but they just lied and made up numbers… I am not even south African
It talk about South Africa
It's only bad if you have to build the stadiums. If your a country like the United States you have a lot of football stadiums already built to host the world cup and the supporting infrastructure like hotels in cities to make due. I think this is why the world cup after Qatar was awarded to North America cause everything is already built basically.
It's a good look politically for FIFA if expenses won't go through the roof, as everyone knew the Qataris really wanted to flex their near-unlimited wealth. However FIFA also knew the vastly overbudget Montreal Olympics put a damper on subsequent Olympic bids. But eventually they'll have to go to another developing country (e.g. SE Asia) and they'll have to do the whole stadium building again. North America is oversaturated with pro sports and I don't see how another World Cup would expand the game in the continent.
@@Avantime I think the world cup is going to start be divided by countries in a region more often. There could be a South American world cup or a EU world cup. I think just giving it to one country with all the corruption allegations going on is a mistake.
That’s why we call our sport football 🏈 we knew our stadiums would be used for football ⚽️ . Our marketing was way ahead of its time 😂
THE COMMENT ABOUT South Africa DEMOLISHING 2 World Cup STADIUMS IS A LIE ALL OF THE World Cup STADIUMS ARE STILL THERE USED BY LOCAL TEAMS AND EVENTS LIKE FESTIVALS
Lies, South Africa didn’t demolish stadium. Please name them. I would like to see something.
As much I am not a fan of the WC at Qatar, the journalism are totally missing the point why Qatar is putting so much money into(getting) this WC. Most previous host had some type of infrastructure and stadiums already. Whereas Qatar has actual plans for all their stadiums outside of soccer and those infrastructures plans where already planned nonetheless to attract tourism. Some of the stadiums have been already used for other tournaments and will be hosting AFC Asian Cup in 2023 who also happened to be the current champions. On top of that this WC was meant to be creating a new portal and showcase the city on TV all over the world and attract tourism. It might not seem like profitable now but it will pay off later because Qatar is trying to not be fully depending on energy/oil money and make it a tourism spot like Dubai. Most places that haven been hosting were already attractive tourist spots already whereas Qatar, most people don’t even know where it is at on the world map.
building 8 stadiums with approx. 50k capacity each in a country of just 2,7 million people..... Qatar is lucky that is a mega-rich country but for any other small nation something like this would make no sense.
@@iammahatab I already said I’m not a fan of the WC at Qatar and I’m well aware of all the corruption and human rights violation to the green washing. I’m just pointing out something bc there is no point of saying how much more Qatar has spent than other countries bc most other countries had already all their infrastructure and stadiums in place. Qatar only got it possibly done on the back of cheap migrant workers otherwise that number would probably be double or triple that amount
@@iammahatab the World Cup is an event for sports fan and the elite. I would’ve never supported this. I’m an immigrant myself and so was my mom. She migrated twice. I live now in the US and the US is not much better but at least in the US there is a way to a better life. Qatar on the other hand doesn’t care about anyone but their own people. There are many to blame and this World Cup is probably the worst one so far. I already hearing there are a lot of issues and it makes me never want to visit Qatar from just the way they have handled everything.
The Qatar World Cup will be the worst World Cup,I can’t wait for the North American World Cup 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦
It's not true Mane Garrincha in Brasilia, Brazil turned into a bus depot. It's not used on a constant basis, but it does hold a few matches per year. We could say it's more or less like Wembley in the UK.
It's a crazy vanity project, even more so than the Olympics because very few new host nations actually have a chance to do well, and only a select handful of countries have the talent to actually win the tournament. It doesn't look good at home politically if the host team crash out in the group of 16, or worse have them lose all their games. Qatar could do it because it has near unlimited money and it's an absolute monarchy that could afford to care more about international prestige than domestic politics.
Imagine if that large amount of money was used for good. The possibilities.
Yeah you are right from all countries
Yeah America could help so much people but instead they use it for war...
But Qatar makes that money in couple days selling barrels of oil.
Gas
The 200billion + expenditure goes beyond World Cup, its apart of Qatar 2030 vision, the world cup just made us accelerate a few things, Doha metro open on 2019 that cost 30+ billion, hamad international airport open in 2014 for around 15 billion, majority of the money is and going into developing Lusail which was estimated at 45 billion from around 2012, a city that consists of around 19 districts n a cooling system, in addition major underground transport networks in Doha n other places. Its not limited to the world cup, the word cup just became a part of it like the icing on the already baked cake, the building of the stadiums was the highest 15 billion in total. A portion of the money isn't even spent as yet...do your jobs!
Right and none of this will be used afterwards

Is it economically worth hosting World Cup depends on whom wants it more the host country or FIFA.
no stadium in south africa was demolished. False news which undermines the credbilibity of this video
Very similar to the Olympics in the cash drain for venues used for a couple of weeks.
But the olympics doesn’t generate nearly as much revenue as fifa
That is not true.
220bn 👀. I can't wait to watch it.
Thanks for the video it's so informative.
In Qatar there was a brilliant idea, they have built many easy to assemble/deassemble stadiums. They will deassemble those stadiums after the world cup and donates it to countries in need for them. Qatar gained a lot out of this, it might not has the same effect with other countries, Qatar is now known around the world even though it's a tiny state, they will boost tourism in Qatar, make new relationships around the world, become Known by itself is a very important gain. So, if what they are saying in this video is true, it doesn't mean it applies to everyone, Qatar has avoided the negatives and gained all the benefits of hosting the WC.
Hello!!! 6,000 + Modern slaves died while building the infrastructure! With no compensation to their families. All died of heart failure!
why did South Africa never demolished any stadium, I would know, I live here
I'm South African and I dont know of a stadium that was demolished and we use the stadiums for soccer, rugby and cricket matches. Please don't perpetuate fake news
Here before it blows up
The US is a great place to host big world events cause we have the infrastructures,stadiums,transportation and hotels already built
Honestly I do think when it comes to huge events like these, including Olympics, they should just find couple profitable locations they rotate. And maybe add locations based on actual sustainability long term.
sounds boring. tourism money is good for developing countries, but maintenance is also a cost. building generates a lot of revenue for developers, but already having stadiums in use is a net benefit to everyone else.
In other words you get mad when anyone that is not the US hosts it right
The problem is every country would want to be in that rotation, as the games would come back regularly and worth the costs to build everything.
@Trends finder 🅥 stop spamming comments dude.
Certainly no third world countries, Communist or Islamist countries should be allowed to host it (too many human rights violations, too low on human development index).
USA is the most capable, the data has proven it, they should be permanent hosts of all Olympics and all World Cups, so either USA or another First World democratic christian-dominant country, such as in Western Europe or Australia. (Sorry Canada & NZ, can't trust you while Justin "Bieber" Trudeau and Jacinda "Burqa" Ardern are in charge)
South Africa never demolished any stadiums
Please verify facts
The difference is of course, if you design a World Cup for 3 months, you will fail. When you design and construct stadiums, and 60% of the cost to construct it goes to contractors, you will see costs balloon. However, when you design a World Cup for 10+ years in the future, you will succeed. You can develop infrastructure, you get more people participating in football related events, you can create jobs for the future. Russia 2018 creates over 100,000 jobs in the country, hospitals, and improved ambulance routes. 1994 USA is one of the main reasons why the United States has a competitive football team and a professional league. Qatar 2022 is why Qatar’s population has been increasing at insane rates. It’s not just about the tournament, it’s for what’s next. What comes next for Qatar, is a national team inside of the top 50 in FIFA World Rankings, the defense of their Asian championship, their clubs competing in the Asian Champions League, one of the most visited countries on earth, hundred of thousands of jobs creates, improved diplomatic relations, and international recognition. The World Cup isn’t as one dimensional as most people look at it, clearly shown in this video that most people don’t look at the other side properly.
I'm very glad you didn't politicize the matter. Thank you.
One mistake at 1:57, FIFA also takes into account bribes when choosing a host. Let's not forget that important fact.
they talk about that later on in the vid
which stadiums were demolished in AD ?
FIFA didn't said to build entire new city to host world cup. That was their plan and they used this opportunity to make their dream come true
Lies South Africa Did Not Demolish any stadium they just renamed them
it all depends on the country. here in Japan, they did great since 2002
Insightful
Qatar infrastructure amongst the best infrastructures in the world.. I visited alot of countries but I've never seen any competition at all..Best of luck Qatar ❤ for making the world cup magnificent..
Thank you!!
This video should have been in the CNBC International channel.
You cant put the price of world up on a spreadsheet. There are all sorts of unintended benefits. Loads of people/businesses set up shop there. Have their feet on the ground and make decisions to move there or open up shop at a later date.
Qatar is well placed because they have an airline and in transit area for the whole world.
They do need to differentiate from dubai though.
I'm Qatari, the price tag is poorly misunderstood. It includes many multi billion dollars development projects that was planned for way before we won the bid in 2010. Like building new airport instead of the old (single runway) airport. Or new sea port to export more of our petrochemical products ( notice how completely unrelated to sports) Or modernizing and extending our roads to combat traffic (in a country where cheap petrol prices make people drive more instead of using public transportation)…etc.
Along the way, the conditions of foreign workers have improved significantly. Some parts of the labour system were completely overhauled. The Kafala system was scrapped. Their accommodations were improved. Even FIFA acknowledged the reforms.
I'm sick and tired of this anti-Qatar BS. Some just want to condition social and cultural changes to host such events. That's nonsensical, as it's unrelated to any of the qualifications in the bidding process. You can't just transform a socially conservative this easily. Some exceptions will be made for alcohol consumption in public during the tournament. (You can drink in Qatar but only in your house or in hotel bar). But even a guy like me who is fairly western minded, see a benefit of our way of life. We don't have to worry about drunk drivers while we are driving, or deal with violence caused by alcohol.
You are all welcome to Qatar.
US spent trillions of dollars for afghanistan but just $500m for wc? This sounds crazy.
It's probably better to build the necessary infrastructures in 2 or 3 countries and allow the countries to host the event in turn...
This can work for both the World Cup and Summer Olympics. I think it will be meaningful to host the Summer Olympics in Greece.
In this case only the teams of these 3 countries will participate
This isn’t just the largest soccer event this is the biggest event on the planet not just sports.
The good thing about Qatar, the country is on a developing stage. Spending billions was inevitable. Winning the FIFA bid was timely. Win win for Qatar.
it was great for qatar...this same development would've take them 10-15 years more but because of the wc they had to do it within 2022.
Lol, Qatar is a developed country.
What about the slaves?
If hosting a World Cup is so bad, Qatar wouldn't have bribed the FIFA president to do so in 2022. 😅
New world class stadiums need to be build. The world cup is a prestigious sport, the biggest single sport event in the world. So you can not host the world at an nfl stadium or some average looking stadium nope. It has to look beautiful
The stadium used to host the first game of 2014 world cup is now the home ground of Corinthians, one of the biggest South American Soccer clubs. It's used more than the NFL stadiums.
Hosting the FIFA World Cup is just like hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Which Stadiums did South Africa demolish ?
06:44 Yo South Africa hasn’t demolished ANY WC stadium. They’re used for football, rugby and concerts to varying degrees but all still standing. ZA hosted AFCON 2013 in 5 of those venues. As to the inflated construction costs that’s partly attributable to collusion.
The 229 billion spent were used to construct an entire new city and not allocated for the world cup only. The pitches cost them less than 20 billion.
2026 america already have bug studiums and it will be a growth for america
Why don't they make one location for FIFA so that the participating countries pay the entry fees ?
Haha..american media and people could never understand the feeling of hosting the worldcup..worth every money
I would prefer to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, a WEC race or an Expo. Far better than hosting that.
So USA wanted to host again even before 30 years has passed and only 6 other countries (hosts) had an opportunity to do so between 1994 and before Qatar? Come on...
I'll never forget how fifa insisted on it's big game playing out of sight of poverty and underdeveloped areas.. If a stadium is fit to play.. the surrounding shouldn't matter, if most doesn't have a fortune to build luxury home they shouldn't be discriminated from having a match near them in favor of the rich neighborhoods

If you are serious about the issues of the rights of foreign workers that exist in the Arab Gulf, then I urge you to research more about the developments that have taken place, as most of the problems have already been solved, but if you only hate these countries, but if you only hate them, there is nothing wrong with you hating these countries On a real issue like: they are not democracies or because they depend on fossil fuels
As a South African can I suggest you guys do proper research. The two stadiums in South Africa you speak of have not in fact been demolished. ALL stadiums are used on a very regular basis.
