Exploit workers and suck a nation dry in the true FIFA World Cup sim

To the delight of many die-hard rugby fans everywhere, the World Cup has come and gone. Germany walked away with the trophy, but Brazil will have a tough time walking away from all the debt the event has forced on the nation. That’s the ugly side of the world’s biggest sporting event that some rarely take notice of. Thankfully, a new Civilization mod brings all the corruption, bribery and exploitation into the limelight.

 FIFA World Cup Host Resolution is the one true FIFA sim that we’ve been waiting for. Instead of focusing on the beautiful game, the Civilization V mod focus on the dirty, underhanded dealings that usually take place before the event even kicks off. The mod was made in direct reference to the selection of Qatar as a host nation, easily the most controversial deal FIFA has made in a while.

In the game, players get to experience the real excitement of the beautiful game. You’ll be tasked with building stadiums, generating resources and hopefully bringing wealth into the host country. Thankfully, you have a brand new worker to help bear the load. The migrant worker will do double the work at half the food and water cost. You hold their passports and salaries, making it difficult for them to get away if they ever want to.

If you’re still a bit confused, let the rather brilliant game description explain things further.

“If they run too far from your territory and the heat doesn’t kill them, there are literally countless afflictions and human rights abuses that will. They are the foundation on which your brand new stadiums rest on — or at least their bodies will be. But don’t worry when they perish, with 1.4 million units to choose from, it’s a never-ending supply of cheap labour!”

It’s a hilarious piece of work that is sadly closer to the truth instead of parody. If you’re interested in giving the organisation of Qatar 2022 a shot, you’ll need the Brave New World expansion for Civilization V. That, and a heart of coal.

    Soooooooo is the Israel Palestinian conflict mod next or do we get to defend Ukraine against Malaysians airliners. I mean sure the FIFA world cup doesn’t directly create as much misery or death but after reading a bit about the corruption the scale seems to put our politicians to shame.

      Oh they are bastards. I refused to watch any of the world cup because I don’t watch events where the organisers bring the country to their knees to watch a bunch of pre-Madonnas falling over their imaginary friends feet to try win. Not interested. Sticking to my stamp collecting competition.

            Indeed. They take your money, and leave you with a foul taste in your mouth, much like FIFA.

    But it isn’t FIFA that builds stadiums – the problem lies with the construction company practices surely? I’m not a fan of the corruption that is FIFA, but you have to say, they know how to organise!

      But it is FIFA that set minimum requirements on the host nation. At least one stadium needs to accommodate 80 000 spectators and all the other stadiums have minimum requirements that must be met.

      Any Mafia knows how to organize. The main reason Qatar got the World Cup is because they bribed many top FIFA executives to vote for their country. FIFA is still conducting an ongoing investigation. Plus you gotta love games that will be played at an average temperature of 45 degrees Celsius

        I’m pretty sure FIFA’s investigation into FIFA will conclude that while there may be one or two irregularities, everything was okay overall.

      They suck at orginisation. F1 runs 19 races annually with the show traveling to different locations and you never hear about such disorganization or failure to meet deadlines.
