Arab League declares "full support" for Qatar 2022
The Arab League yesterday condemned what it called the "hateful campaign" against Qatar's hosting of the 2022 World Cup, amid a corruption scandal rocking football's governing body FIFA.
The League's General Assembly in a statement declared its "full support" for Qatar's hosting of the tournament, which would be the first World Cup held in an Arab country.
"The Arab League endorses the resolution issued by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) condemning the hateful campaign that attempts to question Qatar's right to host the 2022 World Cup," the Cairo-based League said.
On Thursday, the OIC denounced "biased Western media campaigns against the State of Qatar", and GCC foreign ministers issued a strongly-worded statement on June 11 affirming their solidarity with their member state.
Swiss judicial authorities have launched an investigation into the awarding of the 2022 competition and the tournament in Russia four years earlier.

QATAR WILL HOST THE WORLD CUP......NO DOUBT IN IT.....2022.....
brit! that not withstanding. The foundation is faulty already. We must learn to do things the right way.FIFA will lose more credibility if this happens.I think they will try to make things right this time by accepting their mistakes (corruption) and organizing fresh bid
The legal and financial implications are too great. FIFA won't risk it
brit! what makes u so.. confident about ur comment.corruption is very glaring in the bid
No one can take the Cup Away from Qatar
There just giving there support,nothing about giving there say,god lee people just jump to conclusion without thorghly reading an article.
Arab League has no say in this matter they can't decide anything on this subject
after few week they will change their mind. hahaha
