The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned remarks by Germany’s interior minister on the World Cup due to be hosted by Qatar between November 20 and December 18.
In an interview with the ARD network aired on Thursday, Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser cast doubt on whether the Gulf state should host the football World Cup, saying: “There are criteria that must be adhered to and it would be better that tournaments are not awarded to such states.”
