External sourceMar 16, 2018in Football

Migrant workers building Khalifa International Stadium in Doha for the 2022 World Cup have suffered systematic abuses, in some cases forced labour, Amnesty International reveals in this report.

The report, "The ugly side of the beautiful game: Labour exploitation on a Qatar 2022 World Cup venue", blasts FIFA's shocking indifference to appalling treatment of migrant workers. The number of people working on World Cup sites is set to surge almost ten-fold to around 36,000 in the next two years.
