The above mentioned things probably make up for a couple of percent of total emissions when including the 8, 40-80000 seat stadiums + infrastructure they built that are now worthless. In fact the stadiums are already being torn down.

Mmmm. Torn down with blood still on the walls from the slave labor they had employed.
Capitalism marches on.

The more I know about FIFA the more sketchy they become

Ummm, bullshit! FIFA is basically a criminal enterprise disguised as a sporting event. Nothing they say can be trusted.

This post title is poorly worded. As is, it reads that experts are saying that Fifa is claiming that the Qatar World Cup was carbon neutral. It should say something closer to, "Fifa claims 'experts' deem Qatar World Cup carbon neutral."
The actual heading of the article: "Qatar World Cup: Fifa's carbon neutrality claim 'misleading and incredibly dangerous'". It's also from November 2022.

Well lots of people died during construction, so that's a drop in carbon footprint right there.

When they buried the workers in the ground they put that much carbon back into the earth.

People hate them but buy their overpriced tickets and merchandise anyway.
Soon you'll have World Cups only in asia because that's where the money will be.
Football fans never learn until it's too late.

Ah yes that fleet of private jets, private cars, private hookers, all all carbon neutral I’m sure.
