Hendo on the Qatar World Cup in 2022:
“When we were given the briefing, which was really important, it was quite shocking and disappointing,” said the Liverpool captain as he prepared for a role in Southgate’s midfield against Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday. “It’s horrendous really when you look at some of the issues that are currently happening and have been happening over there.
“As a team we’re just sort of digesting that, coming up with ideas of what we want to do going forward because it’s an opportunity to maybe shine a light on the issues and use our platforms to make change for the better.”

Saudi Arabia announced their intention to host the 2034 men’s World Cup. The bid is being publicly supported by Jordan Henderson, Karim Benzema, and more.
Henderson, the former Liverpool captained, who exited Merseyside this summer to join Al Ettifaq, said in a video: “Go Saudi Arabia 2034!” The video was posted by media outlet Asharq Al-Awsat. In the tweet, they incorrectly refer to Henderson as England captain.
