And the next World Cup will be in Qatar, possibly due to bribery, even though the country may be physically too hot in summer to play games outdoors. Some have predicted that thousands of migrant workers, who can’t leave the country without their employers permission and work in conditions that some have likened to slavery, are likely to die during construction.
