Amnesty International Demands FIFA Publish Qatar World Cup Worker Compensation Review
The human rights group has intensified calls for FIFA to release a report detailing its obligations towards migrant workers from the 2022 World Cup.
- Amnesty International alleges that FIFA has delayed the release of a crucial report on migrant worker abuses for five months, prolonging the suffering of affected families.
- The report assesses FIFA's human rights responsibilities and suggests remedies for the harsh conditions faced by workers during the Qatar World Cup construction.
- FIFA claims ongoing stakeholder reviews prevent immediate publication, despite the report's approval by the FIFA Council in March.
- Human rights groups have previously urged FIFA to match the World Cup prize money with a $440 million compensation fund for workers.
- With FIFA's annual congress approaching, pressure mounts for transparency and action on the documented abuses.
