- The Guardian, The Dail Mail, The Yorkshire Herald and Advertiser
- Compared the way the story was reported by all 3 of the papers
- Forced labour around the world
- The process behind Qatar earning the world cup in 2022
In the research of the last point, I found out about 4 allegations of bribery by the Qatari Football Association during the voting presentation. This triggered my memory, as I was already aware of one of the allegations as I was very interested in the whole election process at the time due my strong interest in football. Despite such strong allegations, they were never convincingly cleared due to the opacity of FIFA, and the general incompetence and ignorance of the chairman, Sepp Blatter. After reading some of the quotes from FIFA and Blatter on the subject of the alleged slave labour in Qatar and on the cup itself, it has reminded me of just how controversial and corrupt FIFA actually is, and it is this element I will be researching further.
