Abstract

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar: A momentous global sports event that will bring Qatar under the world’s scrutiny. Until the year 2010, Qatar was mostly known for its prosperity thanks to the country’s natural reserves of oil and gas. This changed with its selection to host the World Cup. Since then, labor abuse and human rights violations seem to be the hottest topics when talking about Qatar and its World Cup preparations. In this paper, Qatar’s much discussed problems, along with social, economic, and energy structure issues, will be analyzed and presented with detailed findings to introduce feasible improvement policies. The solution recommendations aim to utilize the 2022 World Cup as a catalyst by applying the strategic management of places framework, concentrating mainly on ‘factors of production’ and the “human dimension.” Ultimately, the aim of this paper is to analyze existing social and economic problems and provide viable suggestions for policies to improve Qatar’s future economic performance.
