 Jeddah (IINA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) urged its member countries and their media outlets to extend full support to the State of Qatar in refuting disinformation campaign being unleashed by some Western media, casting doubt on its right to host the World Cup Football of 2022.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the General Secretariat of the pan Islamic body said that it was monitoring with concern the Western media’s tendentious campaigns targeting Qatar on the issue. It emphasized that organizing the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, an OIC member state, represents an achievement for the OIC member states as a whole, and a right of all the peoples of the Muslim world.
While reiterating its full support for Qatar to host this important sport, as the first Muslim state ever to host such a world event, the OIC stressed its support to Qatar and to all that would ensure its success in hosting the World Cup, as well as to its efforts towards preparations for the event. It applauded the level of progress reached in the preparations and welcomed Qatar’s continued preparations to host the 2022 World Cup.
