With FIFA, unexpected news items of problems have suddenly surfaced concerning the forthcoming World Cups scheduled in Bresil in 2014, in Russia in 2018 and in Qatar in 2022.
For an Intercontinental Organisation like FIFA, which has representatives from almost every country in the world where football is played, this becomes a mystery !
When a small business wants to expand, when one wants to launch a new product, or when one wants to invest shareholders money, a project is defined, a Project Manager is Named and given the support of other experts around him (Financial, Marketing, Production, even Linguistic) to ensure all the critical aspects of a planned investment are properly covered.
FIFA, with respect to the coming World Cup Organisations does not appear to be armed in the same way as other multi-national organisations !
FIFA it appears, are pledged to hold the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The most recent problem is "At what date ?". In the Qatari Summer or in the European Winter ? Was this question never decided or foreseen before FIFA signed the contract ? The weather there is not like in Switzerland !!!
Who was the Project Manager ? Did anyone from FIFA ever go to Qatar before the contract was signed ?
It seems that Qatar will before 2022 make significant investments to build football stadiums in its country. Where will they be built ? Is there a plan ? Will there be a big enough infrastructure to house, feed and entertain the expected international guests and supporters with western or international food ? One just assumes at present that transport will be available.
Will Supporters who between matches will become Tourists, be able to wear western clothes, drink a glass of beer or wine ? Will western women be able to circulate in dresses as in Europe or must they be veiled ?
When even now FIFA does not know the date of the 2022 WORLD CUP, one is inclined to ask what does FIFA in fact really know ? Has FIFA got a "reserve venue" if Qatar cannot "deliver" ? Where ?
