A vast majority of the British public has admitted that the World Cup shouldn’t be held in Qatar due to its anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

On 20 November, the highly-anticipated football tournament is set to take place in the Gulf region. Since the news was announced in 2010, fans, activists and football professionals have expressed concerns over the World Cup’s location due to the country’s treatment of the LGBTQ+ community.

In Qatar, homosexuality is illegal and can be punished by penalties including flogging, imprisonment and even execution. With the tournament right around the corner, More in Common UK surveyed 2,300 adults from different backgrounds about their thoughts on the upcoming event in the gulf region, and it’s not too favourable.
