With just five years left for the 2022 World Cup, Hassan Al Thawadi, the Secretary General of Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), has quashed suggestions of the country possibly losing the opportunity to host the mega football event.
Last week Alejandro Burzanco, an Argentinean sports marketing executive had testified before a New York Court that the late Julio Grondona, the former Argentine FA president and FIFA vice-president, had told him that he accepted at least one million dollars to vote for Qatar as the hosts of the 2022 World Cup.
Al Thawadi retorted by stating that Qatar has nothing to fear from the ongoing court proceedings in New York and that the Michael Garcia Commission has exonerated them of any wrongdoing in their report.
