Qatar in the Spotlight during the Football World Cup 2022

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

I commend the Qataris for banning the sale of Budweiser beer during the World Cup. Every company that financially supports an event hosted by such a socially oppressive slave state should be boycotted for the duration of the event.

Boycott the brands:

I never looked at the sponsor list, some interesting names there, some I've never heard of. I can't make out some of the logos, so here is the list in text:

World Cup 2022 sponsors
BYJU’s
Budweiser
Hisense
Mc Donalds
Vivo

FIFA Partners for FIFA World Cup 2022 Sponsors list
Adidas
Coca-Cola
Wanda Group
Hyundai
Qatar Airways
Visa

Not sure why FIFA's website omits some names such as Emirates

emirates was a long term fifa partner, but stopped in 2014 for corruption.

Also if they wanted to now they would not be able to sponsor the Qatar World Cup as Qatar airlines already does

“Exclusive: Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players with $7.4 million dollars to lose the first game (1-0. 2nd half). Five Qatari and Ecuadorian experts confirmed this. We hope it’s fake. We hope that sharing this will affect the outcome. The world should oppose the corruption of FIFA”, read the post.


A number of sites are making this claim, but none that I recognise. Would anyone be surprised?
