[영상] What do you need to know before watching Uruguay? Qatar World Cup with many ‘firsts’ and many ‘controversies’ [정치왜그래?]

The 2022 Qatar World Cup kicked off on November 21st. This World Cup is a World Cup with many firsts. It is the first time in World Cup history to be held in November or in the Middle East. In Qatar, the summer weather is so hot that it is impossible to hold sports events. Qatar has invested heavily in hosting the World Cup. Several new air-conditioned stadiums have been built. The King of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is a rich man with a fortune of more than 600 trillion won, and is known to have a high interest in football, such as acquiring the French football team ‘Paris Saint-Germain’.

Meanwhile, it is also evaluated as ‘the most controversial host country in World Cup history’. The British ‘Guardian’ reported that 6,500 South Asian migrant workers were killed in Qatar for 10 years from December 2010. Qatar mobilized South Asian migrant workers to build stadiums, hotels and highways, but many of them died due to harsh working conditions. Qatar World Cup publicity ambassador Khalid Salman said in a broadcast interview that “homosexuality is mentally damaging,” causing controversy over the suppression of sexual minorities.
