The most widely viewed and followed single sporting event in the world has arrived in the form of the 2022 World Cup hosted by the small oil-rich Middle Eastern nation of Qatar. However, despite the passion for the event, this year’s World Cup has been mired in corruption, scandals, political intrigue, and accusation of the use of slave labor which has further damaged the reputation of football’s ruling body Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Which brings us to the question of how we got here and what will happen next?
