The 2022 World Cup in Qatar received a lot of criticism in Italy. According to a survey carried out by Termometro Politico survey center between November 15 and 17, 48.2% of Italians believe that "the competition should not have been held in that country; it was the worst mistake among the many made by FIFA". However, 23.1% of people, while opposed to the World Cup in Qatar, believe that it is now "useless to be surprised, as FIFA has always preferred business to human rights". Finally, 21.2% consider Qatar's condemnation hypocritical because "there have been other times where the World Cup took place in non-democratic countries" and ask to separate politics from football.
