England manager Gareth Southgate has admitted he is unsure the benefit of boycotting this winter’s World Cup in Qatar.
Qatar’s human rights issues have been in question for a number of years and are being magnified even further, just eight months away from the opening kick-off. Southgate and his players held talks at St George’s Park earlier this week in regards to the issues in the Middle East country and how they will respond.
A report published in the Guardian in 2021, suggested that as many as 6,500 migrant workers have died during construction of the stadiums, since FIFA awarded the nation its biggest competition back in 2010.
