About this episode
What does this World Cup mean for Qatar? Sports broadcaster Kate Mason goes inside the Qatar club game and finds signs of a very deliberate footballing project.
But are Qatar’s intentions going to survive their first contact with reality? We examine the tournament infrastructure for fans across Doha – from an unfinished fan park, to FIFA's luxury 'tent city' and desolate stadium surroundings – and find out that the World Cup is splitting Qatari society down the middle.
