Holding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is a "done deal Comprar Nike Air Max 2018 Mujer ," a confident head of the Gulf state's tournament organizing committee said Monday, shrugging off ongoing corruption and human rights concerns.

"The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar www.comprarmax2018es.com , the first in a Middle Eastern, Arab and Muslim country," said Al-Thawadi. "It is a done deal."

Qatar also faces continued criticism from human rights groups over the treatment of its labor force helping to build World Cup venues and related infrastructure.
