Qatar’s Campaign Chief reacts to the claims made by Netflix’s FIFA Uncovered

Produced by John Battsek and Miles Coleman, Netflix’s latest release FIFA Uncovered made some very shocking claims. Spanning over four episodes, the Netflix original comprises interviews with a lot of football greats. Whistleblower Phaedra Almajid revealed that Qatar offered money for votes to win the rights to host the world cup.

She even added that she was in the hotel in Angola during Qatar’s bid campaign. Almajid claimed that various voting members were offered money, and she witnessed it live. She was a member of media relations team but was fired later.

However, in response to her claims, Qatar’s campaign chief Hassan Al-Thawadi revealed that he was frustrated on the situation and challenged the claims. Thawadi spoke, “They are inherently false and there are facts on the ground that prove they are false.”

FIFA Uncovered has gained decent popularity. Moreover, the show’s timing is impeccable as it made its way to the platform only a few weeks before the World Cup.
