The topics discussed at the knowledge-sharing event included the progress of stadium construction, the legacy the tournament in Qatar will have and also the standards of welfare facing those working on getting the country ready to host the competition in six years’ time, which Australia unsuccessfully bid for. 

The issue of welfare has been a constant thorn in the side of organisers, who have faced regular allegations of ignoring the issue.

Last month, Qatar 2022 and FIFA were accused of doing too little to address "rampant migrant labour abuse" by Amnesty International.

It followed the publication of a report which showed high death toll figures among migrant workers, which claimed as many as 1,200 may have died since 2010.

Eighteen months after that report was published, however, many of its recommendations have yet to be enacted, it is claimed, while it is alleged that "nothing has been done to assess the number of deaths and injuries or the reasons for them".

Also discussed during the workshop was how Qatar 2022 can learn from Australia, which staged the Asian Cup in 2015, the first edition to ever be held outside of the continent.

The visit comes despite Australia being heavily critical of Qatar winning the rights to host the tournament in 2022, with the bid process shrouded in controversy amid claims of corruption and bribery.

Australia was knocked out at the first round stage having earned just one vote and independent Senator Nick Xenophon claimed the country had been “treated like mugs” last year.

He also insisted they should receive a refund for the AUS$40 million (£20 million/$28 million/€26 million) they spent on their failed bid.

Their attempt at hosting the 2022 World Cup came under scrutiny after allegations surfaced that donations were misused.

This prompted former Football Federation Australia President Frank Lowy, who was replaced as the head of the organisation in November by son Steven, to insist they ran a “clean” bid.

Xenophon said the reason they should be given their money back was because “they never had a chance because it seems the fix was in early on with FIFA”.

The country has also pushed for the vote to be re-staged following Swiss authorities launching a criminal investigation into how the rights to the tournament were secured.

FIFA Presidential candidate Shaikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, also the President of the Asian Football Confederation, recently suggested he would re-open the bid process for both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups if “if serious wrongful conduct is proven by a court of law” should he win the election.

"It is fantastic to be here, and a great opportunity to work with you towards Qatar 2022," Colbeck said at the workshops, which were held at the headquarters of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy in Doha, 

"You are working towards putting on a major event and we are looking to transfer some of our knowledge from major events such as the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia, and build on the strong relations between our two countries.”
