Intro:

World Cup preparations continued in Qatar on Thursday (28th May) despite the revelations about the football's world governing body FIFA.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Ihab, Egyptian national working in Qatar:

"Maybe because we know that this always happens in the FIFA so it wasn't a big deal with us. We knew this would happen. We knew that one day people would discover. But as usual. Things go like that and I don't believe it will affect anything. Even for our turn having the championships here in Qatar, we will have it as is scheduled and nothing will change I believe."

SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Amer, Egyptian salesman, resident of Qatar

"I don't think it's going to affect them for who is going to hold the World Cup, because at the moment they are doing a lot of preparation in the country to help build facilities. I don't think it's going to affect it, and the country's ambition is now for the World Cup 2022 and also they have a festival to recognise the construction finishing in Qatar. I don't think it's going to affect it, and the Emir is determined to make it a success, especially for tourists, and hopefully it will be one of the sporting tourist destinations of the world."
