Yeah but they could also try to bill Qatar for breach of contract!

It isn't to be honest, many countries have infrastructure that is up to par. Quatar and Russia needed to build a lot of new stadiums that is not the case of many potential host country who already have them and are using them.

With the difference that the US government recognizes the treatment of the Japanese in the US, has apologized and is paying reparations. (Well all is not golden, they still rejected Jewish refugees before and during the war).
The same cannot be said about the UK.
I wonder how Canada was on that front.

So do you, to be honest, we do not know what was in the contract but for sure at this point seems like FIFA is trying really hard to save face and this tournament instead of recognizing the breaches.
To be honest, I dont think there is ever any mechanism holding a country to pay a private entity besides other countries and international banking (read world bank or international credit agencies) institution applying pressure to make the country pay but I wouldnt know for sure.
