Your comment mentions nothing about the city not existing it just talks about bribes and the reason that it was approved for Qatar in a city that doesn’t exist is that they’re a very small country and they’re building a stadium for the World Cup outside of all their major cities and essentially creating a new city for it to reside in. The country is the host not the city and I believe that the reason it’s announced so far in advance is that most countries build stadiums for it and they have the right to decide where those stadiums will be built as long as they follow all other FIFA guidelines

The post clearly states the city doesn't exist. And yes, in theory that's how and why it's supposed to work, but the fact of the matter is they aren't choosing countries based on merit but money. Otherwise Brazil nor Russia would have made the grade given booths history.

I don’t claim to know how the choosing process works because I really haven’t done any research on it but it was my understanding that a large part of the decision was made based on a monetary offer made by the countries in the running, I wouldn’t really consider that a bribe( although I’m sure that bribes do happen everywhere, I come from Egypt where you can’t even get a state of without bribing someone)
