I have no idea what you mean?
The Qatar world cup should never have been awarded as the nation has no football heritage to speak of and secured victory by handing huge amounts of cash to corrupt FIFA officials. Once this was known the contest should have been re-run and regardless the minute the airconditioned stadiums lie was exposed the tournament should have been moved elsewhere. Thes before you even consider the human rights record of the country and it's mistreatment of minorities, both of which would have played a significant part in the tournament not being awarded were it not for said huge sums of money under the table.
The Russian world cup was reasonably fairly awarded to a country with a strong football heritage, but should have been removed the day they invaded a neighbouring country as sports washing you countries poor behaviour is not acceptable. The world under reacted to the invasion of Crimea and is now reaping the benefits, the world cup is one tiny part of it.
I would love to know why you think it is such a good idea for Qatar to host the world cup....
I thought the schedule was moved to winter to give the fans a break while moving around outside? Also the corruption thing, if Fifa is corrupt then the next competition will also be corrupt no?
But that aside.. the football has millions of fans in the middle east, the tournament HAS to go there weather you like it or not, no other country in the region was coming forward and they did.
If it HAS to be in summer then the world cup will NEVER go to certain locations if its so weather dependent.
They have a good location, easy for people to travel there from the middle east/asia/europe, can guarantee security of all the fans in an otherwise unstable region, they have the money to build out the infrastructure required, they have a lax visa policy meaning anyone can turn up, they are used to hosting people from all over the world so this will come naturally to them. There lots of reasons for them having it if you have actually try to understand their (and fifas) perspective.
Oh I also don't buy the football heritage argument. They have a football team, that's enough.

just look at their global connectivity, every continent has a direct flight.
