Is Ecuador- Qatar FIFA match Fixed ? Sunday marks the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In addition, two days before the opening ceremony in Doha, various allegations and speculations are spreading that the host country of Qatar sought to bribe its opponent, Ecuador. The host country for football’s greatest tournament has a dismal track record when it comes to human rights, so things aren’t looking good. The International Federation of Association Football doesn’t need these match-rigging claims right now.

Is Ecuador- Qatar FIFA match Fixed ?
Qatar allegedly bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the first match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to the regional head of the British Center for Middle East Studies.
The tournament will begin with a match between Qatar and Ecuador on November 20 at the Al Bayt stadium. However, several very serious claims have emerged in the lead-up to the game. On Thursday, Amjad Taha, regional director of the British Center for Middle East Studies, tweeted:
“Exclusive: Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opener(1-0 2nd half). Five Qatari and Ecadour insiders confirmed this. We hope it’s false. We hope sharing this will affect the outcome. The world should oppose FIFA corruption.”
Qatar has been accused of similar offences in the past, so this is not the first time it has happened. Even today, many people feel that the hosting rights for the 2010 FIFA World Cup were purchased using bribe money. This claim prompted more investigation, the results of which led to the suspension of a number of FIFA officials.
Qatar is a rich country that has numerous natural resources. It is on the path of infrastructural development and society establishment. FIFA world cup hosting has put the country on amazing path of infrastructure enhancement.
