Qatar - In the spotlight of the World Cup | DW Documentary

- The 2022 Soccer World Cup in Qatar is hugely controversial. The allegations range from corruption in the awarding of the tournament to Qatar to harsh criticism of the host nation for its human rights record, and its World Cup carbon emissions.
Even as the World Cup gets underway, there’s been no letup in the criticism. The decision to hold the prestigious sports event in the middle of the desert, in the small Gulf state of Qatar, has been controversial from the start. FIFA officials are accused of accepting bribes to award hosting rights to Qatar. Qatar itself, meanwhile, is accused of exploiting hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to build its World Cup stadiums. Then there are the huge carbon emissions. The tournament was moved to winter to avoid Qatar’s summer temperatures of 50+ degrees Celsius. But even in November, the stadiums need significant air conditioning.
Journalist Christa Hofmann shows how the conservative Muslim emirate is looking to establish itself on the global stage with mega sports events like the World Cup. She visited the newly built stadiums and spoke with migrant workers - as well as Qatari officials, World Cup fan representatives, and Qatar and Middle East analysts.

I see how Węstern countries sanction countries such as cuba, russia, iran, venezuela, belårus,myanmar because of the lack of freedom of speec and lgbtq rights,but they don't sanction Qatar, sauai arabia, china,vietnam because of the lack of freedom of speec and lgbtq rights. #Western Hypocrisy
.
And why does anybody need to be sanctioned? Isn’t it up to each country to decide what is right for them? Which rules they want to have in THEIR territory? Why should it be up to Germany or up to the Brits or US to decide what’s the best way to do things? It’s an overreach. If other countries want to change they will do it, from within, when it’s time. And I don’t think having two guys being able to get married is the greatest achievement of humanity. I don’t care how much flack I get for this but that’s what I think.
Money Matters.
You forget to point out the work slavery in the entire Persian Gulf region.
Who are western countries to sanction against other countries
Blood sweat and slavery essentially. The whole thing is totally unsustainable and to have in 50° heat game is on thinkable unconscionable.
Almost all FIFA 2022 projects in Qatar were awarded and executed by Western companies, who recruited migrant workers. And, Western governments lobbied very hard to push Qatar not to change workers' policies to protect to their own Western companies.
western media brainwashing is on another level lmaooooo

Hard working Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis made this possible. Their misfortune was exploited. Their hard work deserves respect.
the fact that you likely posted this with a smartphone while wearing some generic sports brand clothing as you sip your latte makes it all the funnier
Their slave labor will always be remember by me. Unfortunately not everyone is caring and want slaves...
No. I am not even watching this world cup.
I just feel for them because I happen to be a luckier Indian (or could be from any country) who had the privilege of education, got a PhD in science and worked in 4 different countries. Still working hard to make an impact in the world.
Directly or indirectly, everyone wants to benefit from slavery (real slavery/corporate slavery). Well, nasty things like the old-style slavery has only been done by a certain groups of humans on earth. A lot of those humans dont do it anymore because they dont need it anymore. But dont forget, there were human zoos in Belgium just a few decades back. They killed millions in Congo just for money. So humans have not changed as such. Qatar is just directly exploiting because it can. It is just an unfortunate situation.
@Binyamin that justifies this shitty behavior exactly how? Since you bring the point up
They are being exploited but they're far from the only ones...
i don't see there a ultra modern world... i see some savages with more money than they need
Maybe we learn to be savage from ur mom
A bit fluffy considering the circumstances of these poor migrate workers. Disappointing from DW
@Onni Hütten aah does someone come US for work and getting that kind of treatment is okay?
@Onni Hütten Right, because their treatment in their home countries is worse, they deserve to face that kind of treatment. No wonder.
@Onni Hütten they didn't force them to come YES I agree with that but their situations did force them. But what the the Qatar government and their contractors did was made them hook in a trap that they can't escape . They were forced to do labours . They weren't allowed to change jobs if they do they would end up in jail. They weren't allowed on the residential area except for one place which was out the city area near to a sewage pond .The government needed to build the infrastructure projects within a limited time so they send scout to some of the countries which have unemployment even those workers have low literacy rates that was an advantage for the government . The contractors take these workers passport from them fearing that they would run away.and they would be given contract to sign when they 1st land in the country. The contract would be in Arabic so that ,so it's a disadvantage to the workers because they can't even understand a word. Even if they ask their superiors they could easily fool them .Just because u r born into an abusive family doesn't mean anyone can abuse u right ? If the government can spent so much money for useless things how come they can't provide them better living conditions, those workers put their blood and and sweat to into that many young healthy people died. Does ur family send u to some country to work and comeback in coffin? I think u have never seen the living conditions of people who are immigrant workers there. They attract tourists by showing those high rise buildings and developed areas but in reality those people who gave their everything and suffered end up getting paid like peanuts. While the government who did all those horrible things to the people after taking advantage of them chills in their luxurios mansions . It's not just Qatar other Gulf countries are on this too.
We won this battle and we are celebrating the world cup, this smear campaign has failed long time ago lol😂🎉
Oh now the westerners are so morally righteous all the sudden
A fairly timid account of affairs. The underlying reality is a lot harsher than DW dares to address.

Nhmm Na, it's a different culture. Different values. The world is huge and there are many people in it that have different values and tradition than the west obviously.
Not every country likes recording anything on the street, not everyone likes themselves being recorded and posted on social media and have the whole world comment on your picture or whatever. This is the normal tho? now you see people recording someone drowning or getting bullied and not actually go to rescue them and its not normal at all you know.
we can’t do that here in most place of Japan, especially rural and council area. and I know you can’t do that in Thailand and many places in the world.
@@hagerosama1739 these people are like minions that have been brainwashed to hate what they don't understand and anything different.
congratulations Germany for your game with Japan
Exactly my thoughts
DW Documentary should have tried to understand what these labourer's wage means for them. 28 Eur/day * 26/month = 61,685 INR. This is way more than what a labour can dream of making in India
Construction Labours haven't started working in scorching heat just for Qatar World cup. They have always operated in the hot Gulf region. You did hear them say the hottest time of the day is a break. Almost every Gulf region's construction/other industry companies follow this
they are biased and have double standards
Much is said about how this World Cup stadiums were built. This is not news. From Saharan Africa to the entire Persian Gulf region ALL building from mud hut to palaces and oil production fac's are built in the heat outside. Western oil companies working here also did this.
Anybody for telling the US oil business to stop working outside in Alaska in the Winter ? Let's hear some news from DW.
I used to live in US with 10 people in one bedroom apt, I was only making $50 a day, that’s pretty normal.
But in qatar they sometimes put you in jail for expressing your opinion and many Qatar local people have taken asylum in the West. Qatar has also failed to pay workers on time.
@@joelc9439 Do you think you can say whatever you want in the West and get away with it.
For instance if I say anything against Rainbow people, they will do the same to me in West.
Great country and wonderful people!
FIFA must have done really well out of this, hand the World Cup to a country with no tradition of playing football and with a most unsuitable climate. The surveillance of journalists sounds like something one would expect in Russia or China.
You’ve clearly never been to Qatar
Do not be so harsh,until 50 years ago they were still living in tents together with camels. Instead of adidas ball,they ve used a camel donk.
Besides organising World Cup,Qataris are champions in diabetes and obesity .

Every Country have their own rules,
Like USA, UK, China, Canada, Mexico, Brazil all countries have different rules regarding Partying, Smoking, Alcohol, health care, Education, marriage & even abortion .
We should admit rules of Qatar nation too.
There's no problem in making your country rich, the problem is you sacrifice the lives of the migrant workers. Clearly Qatar cannot do it on their own having a relatively low population/work force. They will surely rely on other countries..
@Onni Hütten They chose to come to work, not to die in horrendous working conditions. BIG difference.
How about slavery in the USA . ?? leave Qatar alone go watch super bowl 🤣🤣🤣
@Onni Hütten Qatar recruited them, and there is something called international labor law, and they're supposed to follow it.
@Onni Hütten What kind of fucked up reasoning is that ? Is that supposed to make it better, because their countries are worse in terms of standards of living ?
And stop using these over-used phrases of doing research and Western media. I have my own head and I have traveled through Asia enough to make my own assessment.
The workers themselves sacrifices their lives for money. They beg to get Qatar work visa.
Here’s the thing with Qatar, just like any other countries, there’s inequality. And it all depends on your profession & passport. Those who hold Western passports would most likely get a very good salary package & would enjoy a work-life balance. But if you come from countries as mentioned in this documentary like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, then prepare to become a slave. Even the domestic helpers from countries like Indonesia or Philippines is also at risk. However, if you arw from these countries but are professionals like doctor, engineers, you can also get a good life but not as much as Western people. An Asian Engineer, will not get the same salary as let’s say a Bristish engineer even if you are working in the same company & have the same position. Colonial mentality in the Middle East is rampant. But of course, the locals/Qataris are the ones who reap all the great benefits of their country.
Appreciate your efforts to pull this together 😊. Keep it up
People from Asia are at risk everywhere they face racial discrimination in their home country and in European countries too. But qatar is very good
Its peaceful and tolerant and safe. If middle East is so bad people who aren't even Muslims they won't come and stay in middle East for years
I don't understand why even qataris fell for white supremacy
Upon the broken backs of mistreated foreign laborers. Sooooo impressive...
Just as US and several other significant nations
Lies, lies, lies

Poor women…. Without freedom, happiness is incomplete
Have you ever spoken to them directly yourself, without the influence of anarchist media? if you never shut your mouth, you are shameful in making false accusations. different places have different perspectives on things, this also happens with those with a dirty heart and those with a clean heart
Millions of the most beautiful women on earth flee to Qatar to live a better, happy life. Even some celebrities (of course I’m not sure who but you can look it up, I could care less about that particular statement regardless). They come to Qatar and never want to go back to European countries again unless it’s family oriented. And they end up getting married to us Arab men, who give them much better and happy lives rather than their own.
I have only 1 question for you, IS YOUR COUNTRY SAFEST IN THE WORLD, if yes then speak... Bcoz qatar is Safest country in the world for both men n women.

Have 6500 migrant workers died due to intense winter?

Horrible !
50 C heat, 12 hours per day, 6 days per week, living with 10 others per room, 25$ per day (in an extremely wealthy country)... Name a more iconic combination!
I guess no one can make the comparison because these are "model minorities".
Dude better than getting paid $25 or $30 per months in South Asia. I know a story few years back that a poor mom in Bangladesh put an ad in national news paper to sold her eyes and kidneys so that she could feed her kids. It broke my heart.

This report is very cringeworthy. No no
Did you peoples cover last fifa World Cup in Brazil
One of the richest countries in the Middle East and they pay migrant workers 28 euros a day !
very informative
Boom boom boom. Qatar shake the room , congratulation qatar 🇶🇦
Would you allow these same workers to freely travel or work in European countries? Will you simplify visa rules for foreign workers like the GCC? Can a common man even get a visit visa to Germany! None of these are available in any of the European countries now? But anyone can travel anywhere and work in all Gulf countries. They don't look at your profession, money, color or religion.
This looks like an episode of black mirror
Nice to see that Qatar is trying but Dubai was built with the same conditions for migrant workers and they are likely taking a page from their book as a newly wealthy nation in the gulf. They seem like genuinely good people but they are trying to make a modern world while still holding old world ideals and building on authoritarianism. If oil and gas is their only source of wealth, either the wells will run dry or the world will turn to different sources of energy. I'm sure they will hold onto a great deal of wealth still in the future though somehow and I hope they can remain a peaceful and sustainable nation while working towards equality. Had one of the most enjoyable flights of my life on Qatar airways, so they got that too.
It's True Qatar Airways is the best luxury flying experience when it comes gulf Airlines. Especially how good even their economy is and their services. People are clueless man and just hateful for no reason or maybe there is an agenda.
China is on the same script ,albeit with communism.
You did not mention which country built those infrastructures for Qatar.

This is possible the most tepid and meek understatement of the current situation in Qatar on youtube. Literally every other journalist is less lukewarm about the obvious human rights violations. I expected better from DW. Every fact you have stated, whilst true, has already been stated by another source, so all you do is repeat the well-established in a milquetoast manner? This is not at all what I had come to expect of you. Do better.

Sharia is a main source of Qatari legislation. Take that as you will.
Well that's for the Qataris not for you. They have their own rules and regulations you either respect that or you're not welcome! Shari'a isn't universal law it's for the Muslims to practice in their own countries. It's funny how arrogant and pathetic most of you guys are.

Did you expect Qatar to let each of you live in a mansion with belly dancers dancing for you every night?😂 not in your wildest dreams. Ask the millions of immigrants that come from the worst countries to America where they have to live when they move to the us. They live in the low-class ghetto where they are risking their life getting shot and robbed daily. And don’t forget how America developed this country especially in the modern era. They couldn’t have built this country from slavery, murder, and robbery. Same goes out with all western countries. Don’t forget the tens of trillions of dollars the US alone has in debt and same goes out for all the other western countries which are even worse when you are comparing GDP’s for them.

The Westerners need to understand the World is not the West nor the Western values are supernatural to overvalue other cultures. I am not from Qatar but I don't see any problem with the country banning many practices which are simply not permitted in their cultural beliefs. Respect each other culture to live in harmony.

Excellent pictured & informative. It’s developed & peaceful state. But Labor exploitation is imminent on the whole in whole regions of gulf especially uae 🇦🇪, ... conditions needs to be improved through labor laws ....
There was never exploitation in order to develop the so called first world countries not to justify it but to look at your own history also
Please do a study of the exploitation of foreign workers in the US since the establishment of rail transport in the US through the centuries of migrant workers and black US citizens, when being critical of similar in other countries.
This was so well made, I really admire the efforts made by the team and my heart goes out for those who lost their lives into making a sand dune into a mega city hub with no freedom for the poors and low class people.🙌
How do you think other developing countries like such America and Australia are established?
@@aishachandio6688 I'm talking about modern day slavery, I know what they did but not condemning the current situation and just pointing fingers on other developed countries is not the right thing to do I'd say.
@@qwertyali2943 you have no idea what ya talking about.
@@z6811888 yeah I do, I don't idolised these arab morons(sorry if you're one of them) just because they're muslims, they have no feelings for humans and their basic rights, I know what the arab leaders like Saddam or Gaddafi did so it's better you stop lecturing me what to say what not to say here dude...
@@homer1273 lol what was it then before 10-20yrs? Yes, a fucking sand dune xD
We sort of know who was exploited from the news but not too sure who was exploiting them. Qatar govt doing all the construction work or Qataris companies or multinational companies...
Interesting . Thanks again !
I enjoyed watching this report. I love how open and brave you and the German journalist were. I’m assuming Qataris don’t want western journalism exposing their ugly side. well truth be told! I hope to see more on Qatar from you
@@dead_on_departure To tell you the truth , the world population has been abused by European time and time over again but we can't do anything about it we even volunteer to risk our lives to get to the EU , US because of the money , along the way people die and suffer and nothing happened to EU or the US yet they are still making it rich from our labor every minutes, richest men and women are mostly from white people .
Is there no ugly side in your country ???
@@mahira5206 they have alot of ugly side don't matter
@@mahira5206 even the us has less significant ugly sides. Even skid row is better than quatar.
@@mahira5206 we dont build a stadium for 7 matches then demolish it
This is not Football World Cup, this is Money World cup.
Beduins can host 10 World Cups in a row and still they ll have sand in their ears.
Can somebody name any Qatari champion in boxing/wrestling/mma/tennis/volleyball/handball/basketball?
They simply do not have talent for sports.
Biggest excitement for them is to smoke shisha,drink tea and watch camel racing .
When they go outside of muslim world they stare as a hungry street dogs seeing women in shorts and bikinies.
This is a world cup. Not an euro or African or south American cup.
It's the slave cup
Its good for economy cuz lots of people get new jobs.
@@joeb134 what device did you type this comment on? And what labor was used to make it?
Hypocrisies:
1. "You should be allowed to do whatever you want" but "you can't wear burqas/niqabs/hijabs or marry 4 wives even if they all consent".
2. "You can't force your beliefs on other people" but "we can force our liberal beliefs on you".
3. "Stop bringing your Sharia laws to our countries" but "allow us to bring our liberal/secular laws to your countries".
4. "We won't compromise our beliefs to accommodate your Islamic values and morals" but "you have to compromise your Islamic beliefs to accommodate our liberal values and morals".
5. "We should boycott Qatar for worker rights violations" but "we have no issues with England jerseys being manufactured for £1"
Welcome to the liberal con game.
Women are second class citizens. Wow ... that is lie. But it is what I expected from you .
Thank you FIFA for your 300 billion dollar spectacle in the desert.
Thank you FIFA for banning free live stream of world cup .
Thank you FIFA for forcing people to pay extra money to cable operators to watch the games.
Thank you FIFA for your EXCLUSIVE shows.
Thank you FIFA for not raising urgent social issues of migrants.
