UK to consider hosting ‘World Cup’ style Football tournament in 2022 — an alternative to FIFA’s Qatar 2022
FIFA awarded Qatar the right to host the 2022 World Cup, but labourers in Qatar building stadiums needed for the tournament are being exploited in dangerous conditions.
It is unacceptable that FIFA continues to turn a blind eye to the plight of thousands of workers. 400 Nepalese workers have died in these conditions.
This petition calls for the government to debate an alternative: for the UK to stage a Non-FIFA alternative World Cup, inviting national teams to the UK in 2022.
By offering an alternative competition, concerned countries can boycott the Qatar games and send a message to FIFA that nothing justifies abuse.
Of course, the UK already has the stadiums and infrastructure needed, and experience in hosting international competition.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
A matter for the Football Association if they wish to stage an alternative event.
