A newly uncovered report sheds light on the FIFA’s potential responsibility for the treatment of migrant workers involved in building infrastructure for soccer events. The report, which has not been made public until now, recommends that the soccer governing body should provide compensation for those who have been harmed during this process.
The report highlights the extensive use of migrant workers in construction projects related to FIFA events, particularly in countries like Qatar where the 2022 World Cup is scheduled to take place. These workers often face issues such as poor working conditions, lack of adequate housing, and limited access to basic rights and protections.
FIFA has faced criticism in the past for its lack of action to address these issues, with some calling for the organization to take responsibility for the welfare of these workers. The report suggests that FIFA should take steps to ensure that workers are treated fairly and that they receive compensation for any harm they have suffered.
The findings of this report are likely to increase pressure on FIFA to take action to improve the working conditions of migrant workers involved in projects related to its events. It remains to be seen how the governing body will respond to these recommendations and what steps it will take to address these concerns in the future.
In light of these revelations, advocates for migrant workers’ rights are calling on FIFA to take concrete action to ensure that those who have been harmed are properly compensated and that measures are put in place to prevent such injustices from occurring in the future.
