World Cup 2022 Qatar drives through the middle with oblique issues. Here is a list of five controversies from the 2022 World Cup.

The Gempita globe entered the preliminary round. However, the 2022 World Cup has been hit with various color issues.

The snowball of World Cup 2022 problems has already started after Qatar was nominated by FIFA to host it in 2010. Without mitigation, the problem that ensnares us is a case of corruption.

The problem gets worse over time. The problem even extends to the issue of human rights for workers who are responsible for building stadiums and other ancillary facilities.

However, the 2022 World Cup will continue as planned. No less than 32 teams will try to be the best on the world stage.

On the one hand, the 2022 World Cup controversy will not be left in the footsteps of history. Here is a list of five controversies from the 2022 World Cup.

1. Migrant workers

Human rights issues related to migrant workers are one of the biggest issues at the 2022 World Cup. Qatar uses the services of workers from several countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Amnesty International says Qatar treats workers badly. Some of the issues include the confiscation of passports to being banned from returning home during the natural disaster in Nepal in 2015.

The Guardian reports that infrastructure development in Qatar has taken the lives of large numbers of people. At least 6,500 workers are believed to have died during construction.

2. Boycott the LGBT campaign

Things with LGBT undertones are automatically banned by Qatar during the 2022 World Cup. The 2022 World Cup organizers also ban attributes associated with LGBT.
