According to TNT Sports, Fifa are said to be holding hushed discussions on axing Qatar and gifting the tournament to another nation after a series of high-profile controversies.
Former UEFA president Michel Platini has been arrested as part of an investigation into alleged corruption relating to the decision to award Qatar the 2022 World Cup.
Qatar was named as the hosts of the World Cup in December 2010 but there have been a number of controversies regarding their suitability.
According to a report, the French police now have released Platini, who has been suspended for all football activities, from custody.
Former vice-president Jack Warner claimed an e-mail had been publicised amid allegations Qatar had 'bought' the Wold Cup - although the bid team have denied any wrongdoing.

No sympathy for Qatar please.. They bribed their way to win.. No previous World Cup appearance.. No notable domestic football League... No football National Team of repute.. No pedigree of any sort in football. Pls take it away from them to teach other nations lessons.. Any European country will host it successfully.. England, Spain, Holland etc

I think this is not fair because Qatar has invested more money in building the stadiums,transportation hotels and other things so it's will be very bad for Fifa to replace Qatar. ..

Scandal, corruption etc is badly associated with FIFA. The Qatar world cup should be taking away from them if truly they paid for it . All this organizations needs to be monitored . There independent is absolutely too much . A lots needs to change going forward. Qatar was never a suitable country for the World Cup including climate issues etc .

The main culprit is the current President of UEFA. He is a dominating figure in today football. We do not know the validity of the allegation against Qatar. Since it was alloted to Qatar (as Asia candidate), they have spent millions of dollars in building the infracstructures, hotels. If FIFA cruelly axed them from hosting the world cup, it will be a disaster for world football. No one will ever trust FIFA anymore and most alarming factor is the whole Arab nations will stage a boycott, which could adversely affected the whole world.

Qatar is a horrible place to hold the world cup. So many avoidable deaths related to construction of the stadiums. Several under the table dealings. Give it to another Nation and set a president.
