Boycott the Qatar 2022 World Cup
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Instruct the FA to boycott the 2022 FIFA world cup.
Qatar has an unacceptable record on human rights, womens rights and to send an English Football team there would be to accept this barbaric regime. Sporting boycotts work, sporting boycotts matter. Lets show we have morals that outweigh financial gain, for the good of our daughters.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
It is up to the Football Association, not the Government or House of Commons, whether to take part in the 2020 World Cup.
