Qatar's lack of footballing culture means it should not host the 2022 World Cup, Brazilian legend Zico has claimed.
Former Brazil international Zico has slammed Qatar's prospective World Cup, claiming the event should not be held "in a country that doesn't have football".
"With respect to Qatar as a country that wants to grow, you can't have a World Cup in a country that doesn't have football," Zico said.
Qatar infamously won the right to host the 2022 World Cup in 2010, with widespread claims of corruption surrounding the Asian country's bid.
Global frustration with Qatar's tarnished victory and ongoing stories of construction workers losing their lives in the process of building World Cup stadiums in the Middle Eastern kingdom provided a platform for Prince Ali bin Hussein to challenge Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency last week.
