GCC Scribe slams Qatar 2022 critics

The General Secretary of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Abdul Latif
bin Rashid Al Zayani has slammed critics of Qatar hosting of the
World Cup 2022.
He said in a statement that those criticizing Qatar were agents of
retrogression.
He highlighted the supportive stance of Gulf countries to Qatar
against doubters, haters and those who try to underestimate its
right to host the historic international sport event. He said that
Qatar has won after honest competition and hosting the event in
Qatar will be a pride for all GCC countries.
“It is the right for south west Asian and Arab countries,” he
asserted.
Qatar won to host the World Cup in a voting that took place in
December 2010 at the International Federation of Association
Football (FIFA) headquarters. This will make Qatar the first Arab
country to host the international support. There are allegations
that Qatar paid bribes to win the voting.
