LONDON: Arabian Gulf countries would have to lift boycotts of Qatar before being eligible to join hosting of the World Cup, FIFA determined in a feasibility study recommending its ruling council endorse expansion of the 2022 tournament to 48 teams despite the logistical and political complexities.
Because of their neutrality in the situation, Kuwait and Oman are the most viable options identified by FIFA to host games in ‘22. Venues in at least one more country would be required to cope with the additional 16 teams and 16 games under the expansion proposal.
