FIFA should not have awarded the World Cup to Qatar, the world football organisation's former boss said.
The country's World Cup ambassador called homosexuality "damage in the mind" in an interview this week ahead of the tournament, which starts later in November.Mr Blatter, 86, told Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger: "The choice of Qatar was a mistake.
"It would have been a gesture of peace if the two long-standing political opponents had hosted the World Cup one after the other." "Thanks to the four votes of Platini and his team, the World Cup went to Qatar rather than the United States. It's the truth."
