Doha: FIFA President Joseph Blatter says “Qatar won the honour of organising the 2022 with transparency and maturity and is working hard to build and equip facilities for the World Cup.”
In remarks to Al Sharq, he described the accusations and criticisms against Qatar as “nothing more than smoke in the air and that the charges could not be confirmed as there was no evidence to support the allegations so far.” He said the “timing of the tournament has not yet been resolved” and praised Qatar’s efforts to build modern and advanced sport facilities.
