2022 World Cup Special

Wales fan Ian Thomas is going to Qatar. England fan Anthony Joy is not.

We all know about the controversy regarding human rights issues at this World Cup. But are the issues that face disabled supporters being spoken about enough?

Is there enough accessible information out there? What about accommodation? Are the stadiums fully accessible?

Fans Liaison Officer Liam Bird asks both sets of fans all the above, plus how they decided to attend this World Cup in the desert or not.
