what we do in al jazeera is try to balance this story and ease the people who allow us into their lives, dignity, and humanity, with it's one year until the fif of her boy woke up in cat are the 1st ever to be staged in the middle east is a source of great pride for this small country of nearly $3000000.00, which holds the most populous 14 event across the globe. will create a laughing legacy for the region. but since winning the bid to host footballs, biggest competition cut, i've been under the spotlight over human rights issues, including the flight of migrant workers and its ability to host such a large scale event. so in preparation for the world cup, it's been holding a test tournament. the 1st ever fee for arab cup,

which i've seen $16.00 teams compete for the regions most prestigious talking. so is katara ready? i'm fully back the ball. welcome to this special edition of talk to al jazeera. joining us in, i don't. how waterfront studio is the most powerful woman in international sports than regards fatma similar made history in 2016 when she became the 1st ever female secretary general of football's world governing body and the 1st non european we'll be talking to her about her journey and the road to cut out 2020 to stay with us as fatima. somewhere at people's secretary general talks to al jazeera, fatma zamora, secretary general of fever. thank you for talking to you, sir. my pleasure fully to be here one year from now. the fee for world cup 2022 will kick off here in katara. is the country ready?

how satisfied is fever with the progress self preparations? well, i think that it will be the 1st time in the history. i think of the world cup that the country are hosting. it is ready, one year to had offered to kick off. and now from what we have been experiencing over the past few days, we the staging offered a fee for our upcoming which is using $6.00. oh, $588.00 stadium that will be hosting the 1st oil cup in the middle east. i can see that a fever. he's very impressed by the level of operational readiness of godaddy, and definitely the country will be ready well ahead of time to welcome to 1.7 to 2000000 hosts and visitors and football lovers. what expected to visit the country? yes, the, the, the, our cup which have been attending has been really

a test tournament for this world cup. if you were to give an assessment, a grade on things like venues, atmosphere, overall organization, what would it be? where is cut out doing things right. and where do you think there's still room for some improvement? why i think that in terms of her infrastructure, the stadiums, the training site, the accommodation i don't seeing, we can compare are bad with in the country. they have, they have been, i think the best in terms of hosting where a room for improvement you think, but i think i, the transportation was the love facing some, some challenges people her need to, to find their way because of the compact. the nature of this woke up, we'd really want the fans to leave the country with the best experience. and it will never be again the same for them. because what is woke up for leap,

yukon washed to games? and if you're lucky enough, and really if a transportation, are you familiar? yes. bill with a metro. yeah. on even washed $2.00 to $3.00 games, but they were a few hiccups. fatima some were at the side of this arab cab, notably with the fan id cards. a lot of fans having difficulty having access to this card and getting into the stadiums. it was eventually scrapped. i know, you know, you've been p a secretary general and you were in russia in 2018 as well. you've seen what other countries have done if there was one advice you would give to the cat to reorganizes today, to make things a bit more smooth. for fans, as you say, what would it be? well, let me just come back up to the fun id that would introduce for the 1st time and for people competition. and i show back in 2018 when i can for good reason because of security issues because of what organism are also because we wanted to make it

smooth. what everyone the order it is in the russia in for the fine id. but different id was also a tool that was used to replace the visa application because was a fine idea. you could access the country without having to go through the visa application since 2018. many things have changed and we have now new requirement in terms of files. and people need cabinet that us all exactly who we can make little bit more complicated lesson here. the need also to show that you are fully vaccinated and adding a all those additional requirement do not make it easy for people or 1st and foremost here to watch the game, an easy access. so i think the out what it is in got that took the best decision and the right decision to, to remove it temporarily. but i'm sure with what we have learned over during the lisa at up woke up next year will be easier. right now there's been some concern

about katara not having enough hotels and rooms affordable accommodation for those coming to washer woke up. is that a concern that fee for still has it? it may still be your concern is i will receive more for in years than now. people will have a house in, in, in, in, in got that. and i think this is also something that a. busy fee for a port 2022 or under the joint venture is taking very seriously, i think won't be a number of availability. raise up is, is okay, we don't have any part available. it's not affordability or so will, will it be affordable for planning? i all, the garages are quite reasonable. i've been in, in many countries where the euro, for example, was dish winds or whatever it was much, much higher than because what we are seeing here. so i don't think the, what the problem is a problem of affordability is rather the number of rooms we need

for for, for our guest, especially for our executive. get that me for the challenges and for the sponsor. but so i work in progress and i'm sure that the godaddy, especially the supreme committee, i trying to find all possible very, including having some clues boards here. and this will be also something that we are looking into with them. i had my samara with every world cap comes a controversy. it's been the case in south africa in russia. and cotton has been under a lot of scrutiny for the plight of migrant workers. since the tournament was awarded to the country and 2010 wide schools have denounced the condition of migrant workers who have worked on the construction of world cap stadiums on transport, infrastructure for the world cup as well. hotels and amnesty international. i caught he, i said, fever is as responsible for the welfare of workers as the state of kata. so

what has thief had done about this? how are you working with cattery? organizes to make sure that conditions are good and safe. well, let me, let me come back to 2016 when the fever adopted a range of reform under our guarantee 1st, that is sufficient and optical 3 we, i decided and we committed to promote and to protect the old human rights as part of our responsibility. and as part of my response, i'm as, as a fee for that that, that a general out of administration. and also for john in front, you know, the president of, if i would take it very seriously. the 1st thing that the johnny did after his visit to i got that back in 2016 was to put in place. you might write advisory board or to oh, preempt out all the issues with regard to

a human right. and now they made a number of farm ad accommodation, and if by 2017, 85 percent of those accommodation were fully implemented for russia. and at the same level of recommendation were made in cut that. and i can say that yes, human right is a, is a, is a problem every way. it's not specific to look at that. when, when our children from africa droning in the mediterranean, and now in the atlantic, nobody is pointing fingers. the country that assigned the vienna convention, but that refused them access just for human dignity, the government and the authorities here in got that i've taken the migrant workers situation very seriously. i think one of the key highlight was the abolition of the couple. i see them today fully. we have 400000 walkers in this country that have

received high a salary because the minimum salary that was in is now in pause for all workers in this country. we continue our with young international bodies such as the international labor office, such as did a building, a wood workers, but also with the a center for sport in human right. to monitor the situation on a regular basis, the accommodation of the migrant or workers have been visited to make sure that they leave indignity in, in the compound. yes, it's a, it's, it's a long term process to be up to the level of for some countries. but i think that already cut that is being seen as a source of inspiration for other countries in the ad i've got how my lease to be done. any of you well that i many things to be done every every way but,

but i kind of like what about this? because it, you know, constantly this is what comes up them work as my st. katara soon as it the what i hear by but as a human being by nature are always critical. what i'm asking people to do is 1st to relate to the report that was not produced by fi fi, but that was produced by this human right bodies. what working here by monotony and also look and hear from the people who are currently attending the fight up if they have any issues, whether it's on a g, b, t, or on the smith of, of, of the, of the migrant workers. yes. well, again, i'll tell you to focus, oh no. what does a social media reporting? right you, you mentioned l g b t q right? in the world cup, as we know, has been known to bring people together regardless of their background of their race, of their religion. sexual orientation and homosexuality is outlawed here,

of course, as in many other countries in this region. and we saw louis hamilton recently at the formula, one grand prix, where a rainbow helmet, to basically draw attention to l g, b t q writes. what can fee for tell to day to fans who are l g b t q and who want to come to the world cup in kata? are they going to be safe? well 1st we're welcome everybody. it's part of me for monday to make that old woke up are inclusive and is this something that we don't negotiate to do something that is built in the bidding process for any country that beat to host the woke up, people will be welcomed and this is also the message we are getting from mom, d m, what it is here in cat that we need to respect also other people conviction. and we're here for the joy and football being the biggest equalizer in unified in the

world. i'm very sure that everybody will be, was welcome. we face the same issues of 4 years ago of well, 3 years ago in 2018, in a, in, in russia where they were also a saw media outlets specially the western media were very critical about a deposition of, for the russian oddities toward people with different sexual orientation, but we've seen it everything went smoothly. and i'm sure the same thing will, will, will happen here. now the router and alcohol consumption here, which will be available to fans in designated areas. but what about advertising? many significant sponsors of the world cup are alcohol produces how, how is c for working around? well as that of our commercial her deals. we need also to respect her, our commitment towards the sponsored. i was still in constant. i look with them to

make sure that her people will want to really to, to, to, to, to drink alcohol. i can drink it, woke up is in a year your boss john infant tino the fee for president says a world cup every 2 years is needed instead of every 4 years. he says this is necessary to safeguard the future for sports. but there's been a lot of opposition to this fight my samara, especially from european countries. what, what is your view? why do we need a well cap every 2 years? my view is that we have to top of the dialog. so the football it was, his them needs to be to be reformed. and definitely that is a big gap as you know fully between the european of football and the rest of the wood. and this should not continue just cannot be continued with holding on when you have anything to one. i thought what i was i told i should, i mean, definitely reasonable because i was feasible. but okay,

what do you say to critics who say this is all about money in the end that see face wanting to win, but we want money to run football. yeah, we need $22.00. not just about the fans and the experience also, it's about money, right? yeah, but anybody to them foot board? do we think that or the euro is organized just for fun? order european champion. this is just for fun. i'm. this is just this competition argue that it and billions of dollars can get your view gallery to come on board. the only way that i convince them is compare where we took the member acquisition before 2015 and now before 2015 out, $211.00 member association will receiving a maximum of $300000.00 per year today. each of them receive $1500000.00. if you see the number of infrastructure bill do using the free fall forward money is because you were able to generate additional money that doesn't not. and in the pocket of few people,

but that goes to football. and now speaking of money that sometimes end up in the pockets of just a few people. ah, corruption is an issue. was an issue. in fact, no, no in the 50. well, let me get to you came in under a johnny valentino, of course, and there was a massive clear out of the old god under former present set blotter. and fever has hail this as a new era of an era free of corruption. and johnny fantine says fifa is clean and corrupt, free to date, and is to that earlier this year in 2021. the usaa justice department remitted some of the funds that he had blocked to fever related to the 2015 scandal. but are you confident that fever has cleaned house? well, as i can only speak about if you find mr. it and yes, because we have put in place as does them. that would allow anybody just to take the money. you don't see the money. just put

a click on buttons. so the fact that too, we add a little cash or this word from our agency make the things very easy. but it actually went friendly when it comes to the national federation for national police in africa for exam. yes, but before i, jamie, i took her, a peeps uti only 40. i looked at it, 40 percent, only 14 of our member association will going through the center review since 201700 percent of our member association. that receive fee for funding. go through a financial scrutiny, meaning we report of for every single penny we received and we dispersed in favor of a file member association. but there's still some suspicious dealings in african football. for example, fatma somewhere i knew were actually appointed to clean up african football. what, what have you achieved? what's, what's been done?

what they want my recommendation as you know, my mission ended after 6 months. and today i'm quite confident that with the presence of wordpress than what they pay at the helm of godfrey confederation. and also of varone. i was saying it on by who also worked under me has a new secretary of gov. that very soon. gov will be also a very clean house. but how do you deal with political interference in football? because that has been one of the main issues with the modem. that's why you've seen also so many countries or sometime being a under normalization committee. because when the government interfered with dialogue with them to tell them that they should not be an interference. and now we are not as intelligent to suspend some countries where really we have in children that there are corruptions and also that there is undue interference off of the government. another problem with african football is the under development of the game on the continent. the best players are going to play in in europe. they've

been exploited some would say by, by european clubs what, what is foot fee for doing to develop football on the continent. and it's been talk about getting rid of the old god when it comes to football. awe governing bodies on the african continent, the associations on content. the old guys like are presidents, i guess like some of the presidents were still holding on. how how do you bring about change? we've seen samuel, it'll recently elected as the president of communion football. but it's an exception. it's not an exception. i can't tell you 90 percent of the of the prison of the full but for the region in africa. ha. what younger them you and i, i re read to see a footballer taking the lead to be being in the administration is well what, how, at least we're, we're, we're, we're, we're players who are present over their country. and george way i was way back. and there he need to wait to go to, to bring up this new generation, went that hell, well definitely ah,

if for the level of experience on the beach and of the peach is week one, why not? let's talk about your personal journey, fatma samara. you're the 1st female secretary general of fifa, coming from a non football background. you work at the united nations, as you've said for a long time, and you landed in a middle aged white european mans world. what was that like for you? what is it like being a woman? a woman of color, in a male dominated europe centric world? i think that when i, when i was appointed and my picture i was displayed in mexico in may, 20 ask 16. many people have been was shocked. but i think that johnny took that i decision because his discourse were that he wanted to inject diversity . i think prior to 2015 and miss city and gender party to you. oh,

we're not really the priority of the former 5 ministration today. really, i'm proud to be leading our administration where 43 percent are women. we 63 different nationality working in fi for headquarters and now my appointment should not be look at as an isolated cases because since my appointment we have a 3 women, one now sitting on the management board of fever. and one of them is in charge of the women football division, which is also a premier, but with only difficulties going into to this boys club for you. what are some of the challenges that you invited her for the i've always worked in a male dominated organization because throughout and i got here in the u. n, i was always been assigned in non family and had him duty station. so working in a male dominated again as it was not an issue, the issue was for us to change the perception that the foot board is

a universal language. and 5th lot is an international body like the u. n. and it took me more time to convince the people in zurich, my own people that i yes, we need to have a more it, me city within 35. if i today, i think it's a d d all your life. you have to work twice as hard as a woman, as a black woman. what is what you need? what about like you had the moment you are a woman, no matter your color, you have to look twice as much. yes, there are. well, we're still thinking that as an african woman, i should not be in football, but i, i really don't focus on those kind of nonsense. so for football, my fight was to make sure that the boards continue rolling and at football is played everywhere. and definitely that was 50 percent of our football farms been women yet when they thought about women, women have woven in football. yeah,

let's talk about that because there are a lot of countries advocating for equal pay within women and men seen the u. s. women football woke up champions, have even gone to court over there to try and get a co pay for, for football as so where does he for stand on the c co pay pay an eco price issue. there's still a huge disparity in prize money where there is a you are disparity. i'm not saying that this is right, but the demands woke up start at the 40 in 90 city. the women's welcome started in 91. so 61 years later. today until the french woke up, it was the man's woke up that was funding all the i the competition of fever. and yes, are we had some issues with the, with the price money, but just a figure before point during the last woke up before france in 2015. the prize money for the women's woke up was 15000000. 15 in 2019 is,

was multiplied by 3 to 50000000. and i'm so that by the time we, which are new zealand and australia ah, for the 9th edition of the few, 5 women woke up. there will be more money injected into the women game. this is that we have allocated under the cycle 201920224 the 1st time. also in the history $1500000000.00 to the women football. but and lately for people have been very reluctant to rock the boat on this issue of prize money, what do you respond are not being elegant? we need the what got to be sustainable once we can't sell the work up as a. so the women welcome as a stand long as a standalone product, which has already started with names edition that will be state in new zealand and australia in 2 years. then we have the money to, to,

to increase the price money. but as i told you today, it's difficult because it's the man to work up that is funding or the other the when is the woke up, bring money, the as a competition cost money. so we need to make those either competition as i'm doing that house sustainable, by promoting it. and this is what we have started. we are not sending now the right as a bundled product. we want to separate and to have the real value of the women will, can and from what we have been seeing over the past 3 years, the trend is very soon. the women woke up will bring money, may be not to the level of the man's for the next, a decayed but very close to that. and at that moment we can talk about equal pay back my samara p for secretary general. thank you very much for talking to and thank you to you. well, my pleasure. ah. on

counting the cost m r n a for letters changing the well, the vaccines not as the cobra $19.00 big business in place that are thousands of pixels, millions of dollars and not the one people token. we demystify the world of crypto are helping the costs on al jazeera in the country with an abundance of results with great power and was indonesia whose business concerns. for me, we moved pool to grow and fraud. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs. invest, let be part when denise is pros and progress in indonesia. now compelling, we keeping our distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continued

to arrive at the scene of the explosion in spite. i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what living under fascism was life unequalled broadcasting. some nelson have been on august night, he was born a happy al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year reward for the 5th year running. ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello, i'm sam is a dan. this is the news. our live from dell coming up in the next 60 minutes, the army, crohn's surge, 12 people in britain die from the crime virus variance. the government refuses to rule out more social restrictions. meanwhile,
