There is political science research determining that international sporting events like the Qatar World Cup makes the outbreak of international conflict more likely.
I interviewed the author of a peer reviewed study that found a rather significant correlation between success in the FIFA Mens World Cup and an outbreak in conflict. The political scientist Andrew Bertoli created a data set of every world cup from 1958 to 2010 and found that countries that qualified for the World Cup were significantly more likely to start an international conflict than countries that did not quality. The study we discuss was titled Nationalism and Conflict: Lessons from International Sports appears in the December 2017 issue of the journal International Studies Quarterly.
