With Infantino the new FIFA president, some people are expecting Qatar to lose their World Cup nomination and it be moved to a different country. Although the question of course is, can this happen, will this happen, and should this happen? It would be a big step for Infantino's first act as president to remove a country who has already spent millions of dollars building stadiums and preparing for their assumed World Cup in the next six (five?) years. However, Infantino knows that there is a lot to do and fix in FIFA and he must understand that he has to pick his battle wisely, and more importantly in an order that will accomplish the most, as fast as possible. Is the issues with Qatar hosting the World Cup a bigger problem than all the corruption going on in the world. Is the vacant positions more important than the pending club union separation. These are questions and issues he has to deal with, but Qatar is a problem that does need to be deal with sooner rather than later. He either needs to keep Qatar and allow the rumors to die off, which means deciding on a winter or summer tournament. Or he needs to allow Qatar to stop spending millions of dollars, if it is decided that the World Cup will be hosted at a different venue. If you want to read about stripping Qatar of their nomination of the World Cup, read this article: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33044898. What would be your first course of action as the new FIFA president? Where would the World Cup be hosted if it is stripped off of Qatar? Comment your beliefs below.

This is a blog that poses a lot of interesting ideas. A new FIFA president could mean a myriad of things for global football, and it will be a waiting game to see Infantino's first move at the helm. According to the article from BBC, all FIFA's Executive Council would have to do in order to take the World Cup's away from either Russia or Qatar is utilize the "unforeseen contingencies" clause. I would be interested to know what the author believes could be some unforeseen contingencies that FIFA could use to move the World Cup.

If FIFA wants to truly start to abandon their corrupt ways and change the general opinion of their corrupt ways, they will use Qatar to set a precedent. Infantino needs to cut ties with Qatar hosting the World Cup. It doesn't matter if it hasn't been done before or if it would be hard to deal with, FIFA requires a complete 180 degree turnaround from their old dealings. New leadership always brings new opportunities for change, and Infantino has an obvious move staring him in the face.
ResponderEliminarI agree with both comments above. If the new president wants to make a change and be remembered, he should not have any reservations with trying to better FIFA as a whole. He knows better than anyone what is going on with Qatar and the amount of money that their spending, so I am sure that his judgement is valid.
