To Football Associations:
I am concerned about continuous reports of migrant worker exploitation amounting to forced labor and migrant worker deaths that have tarnished the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
As Football Associations who participated in the Qatar World Cup I am urging you to make a public statement available on your website in support of migrant workers’ rights, compensation, and non-repetition of human rights abuses in future World Cups, and advocate with FIFA and Qatar to set up a remedy fund that could help to transform the lives of the migrant workers and their families.
This amount should at least be equivalent to the US$440 million prize money provided to teams participating in the 2022 World Cup that can be invested in funds to compensate workers, and initiatives to improve workers’ protections in light of the extensive abuses recorded amongst migrant workers in Qatar.
Sincerely,
Please complete this form for media inquiries.
