For some time now, I believe that hosting the World Cup will not bring Qatar what they wanted to achieve through their huge financial investment - that is, positive global public relations to help make Qatar a tourist and investment center after the World Cup.
I think the exact opposite is happening. The global media focuses on the human rights situation, the treatment of migrant workers, LGBT people, etc., which means that it is not exactly a glittering destination for tourism and investment for the West.
There are governments in the West that are not afraid to express their protest boldly as Germany, Portugal, Belgium and more do and in recent days we have learned about another blow that Qatar suffered.
The London Transport Authority has informed the authorities in Qatar that it will ban advertising on behalf of Qatar.
