Abstract
Introduction: Oil, scorching sun, and small size were the three components that defeated the wider and richer competitors. But Qatar, due to its possible lobbying, huge gas wealth, and media, robbed its rivals of hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar, meanwhile, has proven that can be its worst enemy in achieving its soft power goals, so that Qatar's failure to deliver on the promises of reforming the migrant workers' system could lead to Qatar being barred from hosting the World Cup (Dorsey, 2015). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the mechanisms that expose Qatar to hosting the 2022 World Cup.
Methods: The method of the study was descriptive-analytical. The researchers collected the required materials by studying the relevant documents and websites; then, analyzed them.
Results: A great number of Indian, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, and Sri Lankan workers have been working in Qatar since 2013 to prepare the 2022 World Cup facilities. The claim that nearly 1,400 workers were killed in World Cup projects was first formally raised in 2015 by the president of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), who also claimed that employers mistreated foreign workers out of sight of Qataris. The Kafala system, mistreatment, inadequate housing, unsanitary nutrition and the killing of workers are among the most important accusations against Qatar for human rights violations.
Conclusion: Qatar's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup has not only been criticized for its FIFA corruption scandal, but also for the emirate accused of treating workers who build multibillion-dollar structures like slaves.
