Boycott the world cup in general
To be honest, FIFA is such a corrupt organisation these days. I recommend everyone to boycott FIFA tournaments in general. Maybe this way football will return to its roots and become less commercial again.

I read an article about the high number of deaths and poor working conditions on the construction sites in Qatar.
Unfortunately, the exploitation of workers is a reality today and is present in many parts of the world, but in this case the exploitation of workers in unbearable heat was fatal.
Although I am a big fan of football, I also don't think it's a bad idea, that's one way to send a message, but the boycott should be agreed now, not when constructon is complete. Maybe that way there might be hundreds of fewer casualties. For thousands of people it is already late.
Honestly, I do not believe that there will be a boycott, on the contrary, those responsible will be in the ceremonial lodges.
I have always been looking forward to the World and European Football Championships, so I was looking forward to this one as well. As a football fan I would love to watch the Championship. Footballers can send a strong message in other ways than boycotting, although a boycott might be the strongest, but it must be agreed soon.

That is a good point from a player's perspective.

What is the point of choosing a country to host the championship and then boycotting these competitions.
This has nothing to do with football, this is another attempt by someone to promote for free at a very popular event.
Every year there are more and more such organizations.

Fifa is a very corrupt organization, it is not yet clear how Russia got the right to host the World Cup, not to mention Qatar. In my opinion, there should not have been tournaments in these countries. And it’s too late to boycott, before you had to think ...

I would love to see a fifa soccer boycott. With all the horrible working conditions I think it would be a great way to show suppose to all the people suffering those conditions. And fifa at this point seems to be pretty corrupt.

I only found out the other day that BeIn sports is based in Qatar and their current TV deal with the Premier League is worth £350 million.
That changes everything - and all these Ing-er-lund players who've been virtue signalling in the past week about Qatar mustn't know how much their wages are boosted by them already.

I don't think so boycotting is kinda a joke, let the athletes go and let us watch. If it's a problem at the time the world cup is awarded to said country they shouldn't even let them be in the running. That's were it starts, unless it's war or terrorism in the country you go ahead with planned events.
