Official Says Qatar Is Too Hot to Host World Cup

"Medics say that they cannot accept responsibility with a
World Cup taking place under these conditions"

Qatar likely will not be hosting the 2022 World Cup,
a top FIFA official said Monday. Why? The country is too hot.

“Medics say that they cannot accept responsibility with
a World Cup taking place under these conditions,”
Reuters reports FIFA Executive Committee member Theo Zwanziger saying.
“I personally think that in the end the 2022 World Cup
will not take place in Qatar.”

Qatar leaders have said they will equip stadiums, fan zones,
and training areas with advanced cooling systems during the games,
but Zwanziger said it won’t be enough.

“They may be able to cool the stadiums but a World Cup
does not take place only there,” Zwanziger said.

除非冰河時期來臨，熱帶地區國家別想辦世界盃。
