Addressing a news conference in a recorded video, Infantino said the tournament can help “bring the world together” and that fans would be an important part of that process. Rights groups have previously called out Qatar for its stance against homosexuality, while Nasser Al Khater, the chief executive of the 2022 World Cup, has said LGBTQ+ fans coming into the country would not have to worry about “persecution of any sort”, describing Qatar as a “tolerant country”.

Thousands of fans are expected to stay in neighbouring countries like tourism hub the United Arab Emirates and fly into Doha for matches due to limited accommodation in Qatar.
