Ahead of the incoming 2022 FIFA World Cup, president Gianni Infantino has recently made some statements accusing the West of 'hypocrisy'.

The FIFA World Cup being hosted in Qatar has concerned human rights advocates due to Qatar's treatment of migrant workers and LGBT people.

Gianni Infantino spoke in defence of the region by saying European nations should be more concerned about their own historical atrocities, instead of focusing on Qatar's issues.

Newstalk ZB Sports Director Matt Brown joined us to discuss the comments that came out of this media conference.
