The day after Sepp Platter, the then president of FIFA, took out the name of Qatar as the host of the 2020 FIFA World Cup, Iranian officials began to dream and put slogans together like domino pieces.
First, they said that we will participate in the World Cup and hold some games in Iran. Later, they talked about preparing Kish to host the world’s leading teams before the start of the World Cup. Now, there are a few more days left until the start of this event, and all these slogans, like the promises made by the candidates for the presidential elections (not filtering Instagram; building a million houses in the first year of being in the government;) were written on the ice and with the autumn sun. it melted
Respected officials could not even allow the Iranian national team to stay in Kish for a few days, and the Keirosh team was training in Tehran, let alone the Brazilian national team or even Ecuador!
The current state of Qatar and Iran is just the borderline between action and slogan. If it is a slogan that people should be ready to watch the World Cup movie at Azadi Stadium, but when it comes to action, a country that is not even the size of a small city in Iran hosts the most important sports competitions in the world after the Olympics.
Today, all the people of the world are looking at Qatar. Everyone is talking about this small country in the heart of the Middle East. The distance between Kish and Qatar is 270 kilometers. In a few days, the uproar in Qatar will end and Kish will spend its days in peace.
Jamshid Hamzezadeh, head of the professional society of hoteliers in Iran, says: We announced six months ago that we are ready to accept Qatar World Cup passengers with 20,000 beds for each person at night. But so far not a single person has made a reservation.
I have written many times that we are number one in the world when it comes to speaking and making promises. That is, if they wanted to categorize the powers of the world based on slogans, we would be at the top and we could have veto rights in the United Nations, but when it comes to the fulfillment of the same promises; Our committee is limping.
Now, why are these promises not fulfilled and remain just slogans? The reason is that the country’s officials do not have a precise understanding of Iran’s capacity. In your opinion, which of the foreign travelers of the World Cup were willing to go to Kish with the restrictions we have? Travelers who cannot even use their payment cards such as Visa and MasterCard in Kish, why should they choose Kish as their travel destination?
We could not even host friendly games due to the similarity of the weather between Kish and Qatar, let alone other bigger events. Of course, the last match of the national team in Iran was also held at Azadi Stadium.
Of course, you know that the current situation, which means putting your hands under your chin and watching the World Cup in a neighboring country, is the fault of the previous government and the recent protests. Otherwise, the presidential government wanted to host all Qatari travelers.
Yes, I suggest to university professors and school teachers to better understand the definition of slogans and actions for students and students, to mention the 2022 World Cup and say that a geographically small country held a big sports event and a big country in the neighborhood only looked
Of course, along with Greece and Egypt, Saudi Arabia has offered to co-host the 2030 World Cup, and the World Cup may soon return to West Asia. The UAE also hosts various sports competitions at its highest level.
There is no problem, none of these countries can chant like us, and this is the biggest difference between us and them. Whenever they can, they promise to come to compete with each other.
