The report from Amnesty International highlighting the exploitation and abuse of workers in Qatar’s construction sector ahead of the 2022 World Cup is a serious concern. The call for FIFA to address these human rights violations and ensure fair treatment of workers is crucial. It is essential that Qatar takes immediate action to improve the working conditions and living conditions of foreign workers involved in the construction projects related to the World Cup.
Additionally, Qatar’s flexibility in hosting the World Cup either in winter or summer is a positive step. It shows a willingness to adapt to ensure the well-being of players and spectators, taking into account the extreme heat conditions during the summer months. The priority should be to address the human rights issues and ensure that the event is organized ethically and responsibly.
