Should Qatar be allowed to host the World Cup in 2022?

This weeks WOW comes from the world of sport

Should Qatar be allowed to host the World Cup in 2022?

Following an investigation from the Guardian there are claims that the World Cup facilities are being built by migrant workers in poor conditions and 44 people have already died. 


Moreover, there are also concerns over the heat in the summer and the health implications on the footballers


Questions to consider...

Should Qatar be allowed to continue to build stadiums in such poor facilities? Does Fifa need to step in or is it none of their business?

Are the concerns over the heat in the summertime genuine? If these are the greatest footballers in the world shouldn't they be able to play whatever the conditions? 
Does it give footballers from hooter countries an unfair advantage?


Have you considered using Talking Chips to structure this debate?
