The international football federation (FIFA) has denied reports that there is an effort to strip Qatar of the 2022 World Cup. In a statement to Al Jazeera, FIFA said: "The FIFA President has never received such a letter and subsequently has not made any comment on that.” Reuters earlier reported that a group of Arab nations have asked FIFA to take action against Qatar. The website designed to look like a Swiss news publication turned out to be fake and Reuters withdrew the story. (Al Jazeera.com)
