Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar and human rights organisation Amnesty International has said women and LGBTQ+ people "continue to face discrimination in law and practice".
Qatar has been heavily criticised over the country's human rights record, including the the treatment of migrant workers building stadiums for the competition. Mr Bierhoff, the technical director of the German football team and a World Cup runner-up in 2002, said Qatar's position on gay rights "does not correspond in any way to my convictions".
He also questioned how the rich state won the right to hold the competition - the first time it will be held in the Middle East. The decision, announced in 2010, prompted allegations that Fifa officials had been bribed to award the World Cup to Qatar - although an independent investigation commissioned by Fifa later found no hard evidence of this."The awarding of a tournament is the most powerful weapon to push for the necessary changes," he said, but those changes "must occur before the choice of the country and not after, otherwise we have no more means of pressure.

Don't go, then. Simples.
This is not anti-Islam or anti-Muslim. We are just against sexism, homophobia and religious intolerance.

nyunggai Sport it's all about the money the run down western country, any way they can. But when it comes to foreign money, nothing to see hear.
Genuinely would love England team to say, no thanks. No playing in that place. Do better fifa. Of course they will just attempt to placate with meaningless platitudes. I won't be watching
2/2) Qatar to host World Cup and all sponsors and countries participating, if you don’t like it, boycott it because all are slaves to Money. Racism, anti-Muslim refugee, anti-Semitic, Islamophobia all do exist in your ‘free wester world’ as well!
This so called ‘free Western society’ did not recognise Gay people’s right only until few years ago and even many churches do not yet. Do not try to be over critical of everything. Each country has its own background, culture and beliefs and in spite of these, FIFA awarded (1/2
1994 World Cup was held in the USA and at the time gay men were banned from joining the army. I don't recall reading any newspaper articles about it. Sad that comments are being made after all the nations have qualified. Shouldn't had entered the competition in the first place
haz tu mundial en Alemania para que no te quejes
Still wanna educate and change others? Typical krautz.
Generally those countries like Russia, Qatar , South Africa, Argentina organise world cup better. Liberal countries like France, Spain is totally incapable to organise such those tournaments champions league and European league are hard example.
Qatar probably bribed their way in. It’s a corrupt system. I don’t know how they even won the bid! Their stand on LGBT rights is atrocious, not to mention their migrant labour rights, ie. the who actual construct all their skyscrapers!
I think he likes a big dick up his arse as well 😂
The so called Media is disgusting 🤣
Qatar stands with the Palestinian ppl and against their oppression and illegal occupation by Israel, does Germany stand with the oppressed Palestinians? No, thought so. So you need to S. T. F. U
You really want to bring this up now. Should have been done years ago...
stop fking bring other issues to football, mron.
Look my naked photo ❤️😘
It’s there right to do what they want. They treat straight people the same they don’t make a song and dance about it. Always moaning about how gay people are treated ffs it’s the same for everyone in life that’s life just because your gay doesn’t mean you should be treated better
They are starting to get the ball rolling as they do for LIVGolfInv.
Are England taking the knee in Qatar? Anyone know?
He is correct. Everyone taking the knee for back lives should boycott Qatar for LGBTQ lives.
How dose feel about his country funding Putin war
Please tell the UK's NO 1 music treasure Elton John to boycott the absurd treatment of gay people in a radical country Qatar is in!!! Many talented and hardworking gay citizens of UK are 100% better than some radical absurd mindsets!!! 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Thank you
And France treatment of Muslims & specifically Muslim women is acceptable? Every country has their laws right or wrong but you have to respect it. When you get the guts to criticise your white skin blue eyede Europeans then talk about others too. No intent to offend any community
Despicable place. These people's views should not be respected or tolerated at all.
How will Qataris know they’re gay, trans or undecided unless they deliberately make themselves known which is weird in itself 🤔
Say who? A descendant from the nazis !!
Allocating around 2000 tickets per game for fans is embarrassing. What sort of Tournament is this? FIFA are more interested in money than fans!
Oh ffs Criticise inequality , bias and racism in your own country and the European peninsula
Strange that nations where men walk hand-in-hand are so bigoted. I can't even begin to process this one.
So make a stand then and encourage your country not to turn up
It is potentialy dangerous during the Qatar World Cup 2022 gay people may be arrested. In Qatar is no respect for human rights.
Think we knew that
**GET RICH AND FAME WITHOUT HUMAN RITUALS. ** GET YOUR EX BACK AND BE LOVED AGAIN. ** REMOVAL OF CURSE, JINX, HEX, BAD OMEN, SETBACKS, ** GET ULTIMATE ATTRACTION 🧲 WITH ANYONE YOU WISH COM E TRUE. ** LOVE ME ONLY SPELL. ** WIN ANY LOTTERY SPELL
Not to mention the treatment of woman, using slave labour etc... Should never be allowed to stage it, but money talks, I personally wouldn't be going and if England didn't qualify I wouldn't even bat an eye lid about the WC this year
Qatar is not Europe! If man can fuck a man in Europe it's a pure abomination to Qatar. Eat your rate don't force me to do like you.
Set to be most hypocritical world Cup ever in many ways. Will the Beeb team interview the few 3rd world construction workers who managed to survive?
Don't play, then. It's very simple.
