With the 2022 Fifa World Cup less than 10 months away Kelly Cates is joined by Rob Harris, global sports correspondent for the Associated Press to discuss the issues surrounding the tournament. We look at whether teams will be able to protest freely in the country after high profile protests by Germany, Netherlands and Norway players in qualifying. We hear how the England team will approach and address issues in the country from FA chief executive Mark Bullingham and England manager Gareth Southgate. We discuss whether hosting the tournament can bring lasting change to the country and hear what it’s like to travel to the country as an LGBT fan. Jonas Baer Hoffman, General Secretary of FIFPro, the global players' union, joins us to talk about the concerns around player workload. And we look at the costs to fans of following their team in Qatar.
