... going on right now. If enough clubs vote for a boycott there Norwegian team wont play in the tournament, and FIFA has indicated this means they could also be banned from the 2026 tournament. Results in a few hours. Will be interesting to see as other countries could follow.

Interesting, the only surprise is, that this wasn't voted on soon after the decision was made to hold them there, and long before now.

all power to their elbow. there may still be time to cease this embarassing shambles
For me it’s that 6,500 construction workers had not been killed at that point.

Very much this, why on earth has it been left so late?
If anyone gets banned from the 2026 tournament it should be FIFA themselves, not Norway.

I would be truly amazed if football ever took a meaningful moral stance on anything. Standing by to be truly amazed though.

Maybe not still too late to move the whole corrupt shitshow to Oz?

Well why not? the whole sorry caboodle is fast beginning to resemble the Eurovision Song Contest, and they now appear in that on a regular basis.

Will Oz have opened up its borders by then?
That aside, well done Norway if they vote out - wish England would too. They would have my full support if they did - even better if the PL found a way not to release any players for international duty at the WC. Agree with those who say it's a bit late now though.

I can’t find anything about it on the BBC Football website. That’s a bit disappointing.

Bet they wouldn't be boycotting if it was the World Cross Country Skiing Championsips being held there !

And this barely gets a mention, if half a dozen people died in this country it would be everywhere, football should hang its head in shame.
If the failed European Super League serves as a precedent for anything, it’s that the footballing community will ultimately not be force fed anything it doesn’t want to swallow.
I for one don’t want a Qatar Christmas World Cup and I know I’m not alone in that. I would fúcking love it if enough big nations pulled out to make the event unviable after the Qatari’s have spunked billions building their blood-soaked white elephant stadiums.
I would absolutely back our FA in doing so regardless of the consequences - it would be arguably the most progressive thing to have ever happened in football and a massive slap in the face to the people that believe that the beautiful game can be used as a vehicle for financial gain regardless of the wishes of those that ultimately fund it.
