Amaqembu amaningana, okuhlanganisa i-Germany, i-Netherlands kanye ne-Norway, azwakalise ukukhathazeka kwawo ngokuphulwa kwamalungelo abantu okwenziwa yizwe lase-Qatar. Womathathu la maqembu abe nemibhikisho enkundleni emelene nezwe elibambe iqhaza ngesikhathi kunemidlalo yokuhlungela indebe yomhlaba yangonyaka wezi-2022.
I-England ike yathula ngodaba oluthinta abasingathi bendebe yomhlaba, kodwa konke kulindeleke ukuthi kushintshe uma ihlula i-San Marino emdlalweni wayo wokugcina wamaqoqo.
