The Qatar World Cup has provoked strong and sometimes conflicting, reactions in many people.
In this series of videos, written by James Montague and illustrated by Alice Devine, Tifo explains why the World Cup in the Gulf State is so controversial.
How did Qatar get into a position to be able to host a World Cup? What is the history of Qatar? Why did the country want this tournament?
This episode begins in 1990 with three seemingly unconnected events: The publication of the Taylor Report, the independence of Lithuania, and the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq.

Omg. Your assessment of Thatcherism is so wrong. You far left propagandists.
I was there.
Excellent Video...!!! As a professor of International relations I want to congratulate you for presenting historical facts with exquisite simplicity.....It was honest and direct....Some may see it as history oversimplified. But given the time and the space, you have produced an excellent documentary.
This world cup 2022 is stab in liberties & freedom's back! WE AS NON RICH HAS NO RIGHTS & TERRORIST NATION CAN DO AS THEY WILL...
Fascinating to reflect that the Hillsborough disaster led to the modernisation of football grounds, while the Heysel disaster catalysed the formation of the Premier League (as a result of the European ban that was imposed on English clubs).
This still smells of sponsored content, PR and Arab Gulf state sports washing.
Proof that Joe Devine could commentate on anything and make it majestic. Serious talent and an amazing voice.
Finally you said it, I agree with you that this voice is amazing
Yep. I want his voice on my sat nav!
Done in an Adam Curtis style
@@GuinessOriginal Yep, this was definitely inspired by Trauma Zone
@@Silphwave an Adam Curtis tifo collab on a football centred documentary would be powerful
This is an incredible watch. Tifo always produces good content but this is a level above from content to story telling!
Itâs a little like Adam Curtis lite
@@GuinessOriginal definitely reminiscent of Curtis! Good comp
Balon and pythagoras in boots are the only 2 that come close to tifo tbf
I agree but itâs weird that he keeps saying âfootball.â Itâs soccer
No it is called roundball.
Next level video even by Tifo standards.
Hats off.
Its all that "The Athletic" money. But hey to be honest i subscribed to Athletic because of TIFO so im glad they are doing well. Very interesting piece too.
I think with this video Tifo has shown that they are definitely capable of doing other content that is unrelated to football. History and general story telling might be a great option.
They've always done this tho
How is this not related to football?
@@_Super_Hans_ This sure is related to football. However there are a lot more topics discussed, such as history of Qatar as a nation and collapse of Soviet Union. Which are not directly related to football however affected this topic about football. Which shows us they are capable of doing stuff unrelated to Football
@@_Super_Hans_ actually if this video was renamed âhistory of qatarâs riseâ, without relating to football, it would still make sense. A lot of sense.
You can tell Tifo is run by professional (sports) journalists than have skills to do deep research and have broad knowledge
I know the guy who did Australia's bid at the bidding ceremony. He told me that ten different countries had promised they had voted for him, but when the results came in, he had only 1 vote. On top of that, the Qatari royal family had been invited to the bidding, and it was clear to everyone that FIFA wouldn't have invited them if Qatar was going to lose.
why did the other ten countries wanted to bid for Australia to begin with?
@@reasanka8667 why would they vote Qatar
@@Itsgold123 Qatar willing to pay more than Australia.
@@ISimulacraaa nah Qatar will be bettet
@@skp8748 dog whistle you mean repressed and away with freedom of speech and expression
Don't usually expect football content to actually have good political analysis, it's so refreshing to see a really good and solid breakdown of how politics, society, and history shape a sport
Never did I ever expect a geopolitical video on Qatar with such depth on Tifo Football.
Splendid job!
This was actually much of their early content in the uMaxIt days.
Why, it's what Tito does best, they've always don Geopolitical stuff going back to Umaxit Football
The fact that not even BBC nor Sky Sports can come even closeeee in producing something like this⊠wow Tifo!! Spectacular video đđœđđœ
More videos like these, Tifo. This is incredible đđŸ
You liked the thing? And now you're getting internet good boy points for it? Wow!
@@Snookbone what is the reason
Itâs terrible
@@scullyplays3992 cry
It feels like Tifo has been taking points from Adam Curtis documentaryâs.
đđđ
Absolutely loving the style of this video. A lovely mix of colourful Tifo and bleak postmodern Adam Curtis.
Incredibly well produced video. Great work, Tifo! And very informative.
Tifo videos are always good but I think this is the best one I've ever seen. Visually stunning and absolutely fascinating. Fantastic stuff
More football media like this please! It's amazing that this exists with all the stan culture, endless goat debates, mean spirited drama and click bait going around â€ïž
This is simply a gold standard of information. I almost forgot it was a sports channel. The quality, the accuracy with which the historical events were connected & the style of presentation was incredible. Thank you for this..
Excellent Video...!!! As a professor of International relations I want to congratulate you for presenting historical facts with exquisite simplicity.....It was honest and direct....Some may see it as history oversimplified.

The production value of this video is just profound. Thank you for all the work, it's truly appreciated
Great video. The writers deserve huge congratulation for well researched piece that was incredibly informative. Looking forward to the next chapter.
A new peak for an already-great channel! Exceptional storytelling, and super informative. Thank you all.
Fantastic geopolitical video. Really gives the context for whatâs happening in the country today
tifo, thank you so much for this timely video. I was wondering when you were going to get round to it... genuinely worth the wait. Doing fantastic works guys. Keep it up. Peace and football
Outstanding piece, this looks like it took a ton of effort! Well done
This was absolutely fantastic to watch! Great job Tifo, more like this in the future please!
Thanks for ALWAYS bring us quality content. I also love that the Spanish channel "La Media Inglesa" is doing collabs with you guys. Keep it up!! The viewers really appreciate the dedication you put on this videos and it's been reflected in your growth.
You guys are taking TIFO to another level with this series. Brillaint stuff.
Brilliant video, great angles, solid research and as always focus on clear narrative. Bravo

Very informative and well-scripted. Well done team Tifo. This is brilliant.
Bravo Tifo team. This was exquisitely crafted. Great watch. I look forward to more throughout the World Cup!
This is an incredible production. Great job Tifo
Could you guys provide sources for these videos? It's one thing speaking about football, it's quite another commenting on geopolitical history, even if it relates to football.
Tifo doesnât miss with the thumbnails. They barely miss period.
There is a misspelled Emir in one of the slides too. But the content is timely, so all is forgiven.
@@Machinationstudio a spelling error? oh nah, I retract my comment, Tifo fell off hard. Unsubscribed
@@GreenGumbo đ
This is absolutely brilliant! Fantastic insight. More please.
What a fantastic video. Huge job from everyone involved. Thank you and congratulations!!
James, Seb: Great job with this piece.
Joe: Absolutely knocking it out of the park with the delivery.
Looking forward to the following parts.
This was exceptional, seriously one of your best videos tifo đ„
Astounding analysis, as always. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to watching this series with great interest.
Unbelievable quality, from the narration, art direction, writing...the list goes on. Tifo sets the bar for CZcams Channels as far as I'm concerned.
I wish i could like this twice! Very informative and well written, also a series. looking foraword to the next one.
Great stuff. Looking forward to the next episode. Particularly love how you pull no punches and b.s. about all the greed and money abuse in this world. This kind of honesty is rare in media. Be an independent voice. "And your people, will love."
tifo at its best. been a subscriber for a long time and I have to say this is the most important tifo video to date
This was fantastic Tifo! Keep it up. đ
I was at the end of the video before I realised it was part one. Looking forward to the next one!

The invasion of Kuwait you meant at the end? A very informative video by the way. As always but even better. Thank you.
