As the first championship in the Middle East, the Qatar World Cup is both historic and controversial. Notwithstanding numerous bribing allegations, Qatar was selected as the first country in the Middle East to host the World Cup. And the political controversies have been on full display during the Cup – from LGBTQ rights to Iran’s protests, the world was watching. Are these political debates the new normal?

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Nick Sprague, a sports analyst and tech entrepreneur who traveled to Doha for the World Cup. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines FIFA’s controversial decision not to allow players to wear arm bands in support of LGBTQ+ rights on the field in Doha.
