In an totally unexpected turn of events, rumours are swirling that the UAE is open to CO-HOSTING the World Cup in 2022, if the Qatar fall-out was resolved.

This is according to UAE sports chief Mohammed Khalfan al-Romaithi via an interview with Reuters on Tuesday.

He stated, “If the problem is solved I think the UAE would welcome the World Cup here, a group or two for example.”

In 2017, the Qatar diplomatic crisis began when four Arab nations including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt cut ties with Qatar amid allegations of terrorism.
