<p class="has-white-color has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter says the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar was a &#8220;mistake&#8221;.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blatter, 86, was president of world football&#8217;s governing body when Qatar was awarded the tournament in 2010.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Gulf state has been criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, human rights record and treatment of migrant workers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blatter said he was &#8220;right&#8221; to have said at the time that the tournament &#8220;should not go&#8221; to Qatar for 2022.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Swiss was speaking on upcoming BBC Radio 5 Live podcast series Power Play &#8211; The House of Sepp Blatter about the decision to award Qatar the World Cup.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an interview with Swiss newspaper <a href="https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/katar-ist-ein-irrtum-die-wahl-war-schlecht-352210690053" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tages Anzeiger,</a> Blatter added Qatar is &#8220;too small of a country&#8221; to host the tournament and that &#8220;football and the World Cup are too big for it&#8221;.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Qatar World Cup, the first to be hosted in the Middle East in the tournament&#8217;s 92-year-history and the first during the Northern Hemisphere winter, takes place from 20 November to 18 December.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fifa&#8217;s executive committee voted 14-8 for Qatar to host the tournament ahead of the United States 12 years ago, at the same time Russia was awarded the 2018 event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blatter says he voted for the United States and blames then-Uefa president Michel Platini for swinging the vote in Qatar&#8217;s favour.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;It was a bad choice and I was responsible for that as president at the time,&#8221; he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Thanks to the four votes of Platini and his [Uefa] team, the World Cup went to Qatar rather than the United States. It&#8217;s the truth.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blatter also said Fifa had adjusted the criteria used to select host countries in 2012 after concerns were raised about the treatment of migrant workers building World Cup stadiums in Qatar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Since then, social considerations and human rights are taken into account,&#8221; he added.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blatter spent 17 years as Fifa president but was forced to step down in 2015 over allegations he unlawfully arranged a transfer of two million Swiss francs ($2.19m; £1.6m) to Platini, who was also forced to resign from his position at Fifa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He was originally banned from football by Fifa for eight years, later reduced to six, over the Platini payment. In March 2021 he then received an additional ban until 2028 for &#8220;various violations&#8221; of Fifa&#8217;s code of ethics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blatter and Platini were charged with fraud last November but were found not guilty at a trial in Switzerland in July.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively has been dogged by accusations of widespread corruption, with two investigations launched by Swiss prosecutors and the US Department of Justice in 2015.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Qatar and Russia have always denied any wrongdoing, and both were effectively cleared by Fifa&#8217;s own investigation in 2017.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fifa <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63506951" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently wrote to competing nations</a> asking them to &#8220;now focus on the football&#8221; instead of the competition&#8217;s controversial build-up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Fifa letter was criticised by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and LGBTQ+ campaigners in England and Wales, while 10 European football associations &#8211; including those of England and Wales &#8211; said &#8220;human rights are universal and apply everywhere&#8221;.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is concern about how LGBTQ+ people are treated in Qatar, where same-sex relationships and the promotion of same-sex relationships are criminalised, with punishments ranging from fines to the death sentence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amnesty International says that since 2010, <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde22/4966/2021/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hundreds of thousands of migrant workers</a> have faced human rights abuses while employed to build wider infrastructure necessary to host the tournament.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Peaceful protests have been planned by some players, while England&#8217;s Harry Kane and nine other captains of European teams will be wearing &#8216;One Love&#8217; armbands. to promote diversity and inclusion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Denmark will wear &#8220;toned-down&#8221; shirts to protest against Qatar, with kit provider Hummel saying it &#8220;does not wish to be visible&#8221; in a tournament it claims &#8220;has cost thousands of lives&#8221;, while Australia&#8217;s squad have released a video urging Qatar to abolish its laws on same-sex relationships.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Le Ministère public de la Confédération requiert une peine de prison avec sursis d&#8217;un an et huit mois aussi bien contre Sepp Blatter que contre Michel Platini. Il les accuse d&#8217;avoir escroqué la FIFA pour deux millions de francs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sepp Blatter doit être déclaré coupable d&#8217;escroquerie, éventuellement d&#8217;abus de confiance ou de gestion déloyale ainsi que de faux dans les titres, a déclaré mercredi le procureur général de la Confédération Thomas Hildbrand devant le Tribunal pénal fédéral à Bellinzone. Le représentant du Ministère public a accusé Michel Platini des mêmes délits. Il lui réclame en plus une indemnité de 2,2 millions de francs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chez les deux accusés, il n&#8217;y a &#8220;pas l&#8217;ombre d&#8217;un remords&#8221;, a constaté M. Hildbrand. &#8220;MM. Blatter et Platini pouvaient librement se décider pour ou contre le droit&#8221;. Ils ont opté pour le non-droit &#8220;sans raison valable&#8221;, a poursuivi Thomas Hildbrand.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Thèse d&#8217;un &#8220;contrat oral&#8221; balayée</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sepp Blatter savait très bien que le paiement de deux millions de francs porterait préjudice à la FIFA et enrichirait illégalement Michel Platini, selon le procureur. La concertation entre les deux hommes témoigne d&#8217;une &#8220;énergie criminelle non négligeable&#8221; et leur comportement démontre une &#8220;grande absence de scrupules&#8221;, dont le fondement est &#8220;exclusivement de nature matérielle&#8221;, a-t-il ajouté.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Et Thomas Hildbrand de citer Friedrich Dürrenmatt en conclusion de son réquisitoire de cinq heures: &#8220;La justice habite à un étage auquel le système judiciaire n&#8217;a pas accès&#8221;. Il n&#8217;y a pas de justice, a poursuivi le procureur fédéral. &#8220;Mais c&#8217;est notre tâche et notre devoir de nous en rapprocher&#8221;. Or la clé de ce rapprochement se trouve dans les dossiers, a-t-il ajouté.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">La parole à la FIFA jeudi</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le Ministère public de la Confédération accuse le Valaisan de 86 ans et le Français de 20 ans son cadet de fraude. Sepp Blatter a approuvé un paiement de deux millions de francs pour de prétendus services de conseils de Michel Platini au bénéfice de la FIFA entre juillet 1998 et juin 2002. Or le MPC ne voit aucune base légale à ce paiement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les deux accusés ont rejeté en bloc les accusations la semaine dernière devant le Tribunal pénal fédéral de Bellinzone. l&#8217;ex-président de l&#8217;UEFA voit dans cette accusation un complot qui aurait servi à l&#8217;empêcher de devenir président de la FIFA, ouvrant la voie à Gianni Infantino, son bras droit d&#8217;alors à l&#8217;UEFA qui est visé depuis 2020 par une procédure distincte pour trois rencontres secrètes avec le parquet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le procès se poursuit jusqu&#8217;au 22 juin. Au cours des onze jours d&#8217;audience, les débats ne se déroulent que le matin, jusqu&#8217;à 13h30 au plus tard. L&#8217;état de santé de Joseph Blatter ne lui permet pas de comparaître plus de quatre heures par jour.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La FIFA est partie civile dans ce procès. Jeudi dès 09h00, ce sera au tour de son mandataire de présenter sa plaidoirie. Dans un communiqué diffusé mercredi, le défenseur de Michel Platini a répété qu&#8217;il plaidera l&#8217;acquittement, ajoutant être &#8220;serein et confiant&#8221;. L&#8217;ouverture du jugement est fixée au 8 juillet.</p>
