If they're willing and able to build it, on time for the cup, that doesn't seem to inherently present a problem (notwithstanding issues about labour conditions etc., I'm talking specifically just about the "no infrastructure" point).

They are willing to build it using essentially slave labor. They may be able to build it before all the workers die.

It's a total waste of resources, energy, money... they're single-use stadiums. Most will go derelict after the tournament ends.
