Qatar is reportedly ready to make a serious bid to host the Olympics in Doha in 2036.
The FIFA World Cup is now at its quarter-final stage with the competition played against a backdrop of human rights issues, including Qatar's treatment of women, migrant workers and the LGBTQ+ community.
There has been some uncertainty over what would happen with the stadiums purposely-built for the World Cup after its conclusion but the infrastructure could boost the country's chances of landing the Olympics.
