Inside the Qatar World Cup – Episode 3

What does the future look like for Qatar, football, and the people we’ve spoken to?

Sports broadcaster Kate Mason finds out more about the precarious situation of the LGBTQ+ community in the country and speaks to the only publicly gay Qatari. After officials were in a standoff with Danish broadcasters this week, Kate also explores Qatar's media environment and asks whether this World Cup will – really – be a wake-up call for the football community. Once the spotlight moves on, there are simply no guarantees.

This is Episode 3 of Inside the Qatar World Cup, winner of Best Audio Documentary at the Sports Journalism Awards in 2023. Originally broadcast on the Football Ramble podcast feed in November 2022.

Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter. From Stak, this is Legacy.
