It was clear that what the 2022 world cup host wanted was fame. They wanted to prove to the world that they could host the world cup and they also wanted to rebrand the Middle East making it look like an area that has become receptive to civilization and changes. Before this time people usually classify these Arabic nations as people that are glued to their religious beliefs. But the world cup proved that the middle east could make changes to their policies that will make football fans and investors comfortable. But I didn't see the last world cup as one of the best because it had many shortcomings that wouldn't have happened in another country.
If that was the case, then I am 100% sure that it didn't worked the way they intended. Even before the start of the tournament, many of the European teams were protesting against discrimination on unmarried couples and LGBTs. And some of the European teams even raised the issue of lack of compensation payments to the families of 6,000+ workers who died during the construction of world cup stadiums. And during the tournament, a lot of fans were unhappy about overpriced amenities and ban on alcohol. If Qatar wanted to showcase middle-east, then I would say that they completely failed in doing that.
However, in my opinion, it is not fair for Qatar when they are considered a failure, because as a host, they must glorify their guests, but as guests, of course, they must respect the policies adopted by the host. Also, isn't that already approved by FIFA as the highest organization in football?
Here it is important to respect each other's decisions, because when talking about which policies should be taken, everyone also wants their opinion to be implemented. I think here we are actually being tested for our maturity in judging things.
