Doha, Qatar - Mohamed bin Hammam, the President of Asian Football Confederation, is not agreed with the idea of spreading the 2022 FIFA World Cup through the neighbouring countries.
Mohamed bin Hammam said before the Asian Cup final Saturday that he didn't think any other country will have a part in the competition. He further added the impact of the mega event “will be huge” for the Gulf region as a result of increased tourism and infrastructure projects.
The proposal of Qatar sharing the World Cup was arrived from FIFA President Sepp Blatter just after few days of the Dec. 2 decision to send the 2022 tournament to the tiny emirate state Qatar. Spreading the tournament across the Gulf had also been supported by FIFA Vice President Michel Platini.
