This is where the World Cup will be held. Is it safe for females to even visit?

What are FIFA going to do about it anyway?
Probably nothing, unless strong and concrete evidence of corruption surfaces.Qatar says its cost will be at least £23bn ($35bn). If a World Cup was removed from a host country which then successfully appealed and won compensation, Fifa could well be bankrupted.

It isn't the ideal place to have the world cup but do their laws actually prevent people from watching football or players from playing it? Dont think theres a case to take it away from them.

Let's see
Gay supporters can't go to see the World Cup
Women need to be careful they don't get raped or they'll have a case against them for being raped, so maybe it's best they don't go too.

Btw, a gay couple taking a double room would be a dead giveaway they're gay.

I understand that they shouldn't be out in public being overly affectionate (but that is a rule that applies to heterosexual couples too) but it's disgraceful that homosexual people would have to lie about their sexuality in order to feel safe at a football tournament,

Gays being uncomfortable is not a reason to ban it from Qatar.
