President Gianni Infantino:
World Cup stays in Qatar
New FIFA president Gianni Infantino
Doha - Arab Today
Gianni Infantino on his first visit to Qatar as FIFA president insisted on Friday that the 2022 World Cup would be hosted there as planned.
Asked if the Gulf state would keep the tournament despite allegations of labour abuse and corruption, Infantino told reporters in Doha: "Of course, the World Cup will take place in Qatar in 2022."
Infantino also announced a new independent committee would be set up to monitor working conditions for labourers at the World Cup stadiums.
Infantino said he was "confident we are on the right track" after a string of alleged rights violations during the tournament's construction phase.
He said the oversight body will be led by FIFA and comprise members of civil society.
