Amnesty International has urged Fifa president Gianni Infantino to break his silence on a compensation scheme for migrant workers in World Cup host country Qatar, saying: “It’s still not too late for Fifa to do the right thing.”
Amnesty and a coalition of other organisations has called on Fifa to set aside £375million – equivalent to the World Cup prize money fund – towards setting up a centre to support migrant workers and to compensate those who have been injured or the families of those who have died in construction projects in Qatar.
