# Qatar is awarded the 2022 World Cup, locking in a kafala construction boom

Date: 2010

## The fact

On 2 December 2010 FIFA awarded Qatar the 2022 World Cup. Tamim was deputy emir; as emir from 2013 he owned delivery.

## Context

FIFA voted. Hamad was still emir. Tamim delivered as emir. He did not write FIFA’s later reforms. Stadium deaths sit on a neighbouring 2022 oversight row.

World Cup opening 2022 is the tournament. Labour-law 2020 is a later reform.

The emir of Qatar is head of state and, in practice, of government under the 2004 constitution as applied. He does not write FIFA statutes, UN Security Council resolutions, Hamas military orders, or ILO conventions by himself.

## Evidence and sources

FIFA carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is labour and political polarisation: a completed award created a construction boom under kafala. It is not a unique death coefficient from 2010.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a 2 December 2010 FIFA award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later death coefficient from the vote night, or that Tamim cast FIFA’s ballots.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

FIFA awarded. Hamad bid. Contractors built.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Qatar is awarded the 2022 World Cup, locking in a kafala construction boom, not a later speech about Qatar is awarded the 2022 World Cup, locking in a kafala construction boom.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Qatar is awarded the 2022 World Cup, locking in a kafala construction boom on 2010-12-02 is not a licence to treat every later FIFA communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Qatar is awarded the 2022 World Cup, locking in a kafala construction boom into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He delivered the tournament as emir from 2013. FIFA awarded. Hamad bid. Contractors built. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
