As the countdown to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar continues, migrant workers who contributed to the construction of stadiums are still awaiting compensation. Despite promises of reform and improved conditions, many workers like Borhan from Bangladesh have not been fully paid for their work.
The FIFA Sub-Committee on Human Rights and Social Responsibility, chaired by Michael Llamas, was tasked with addressing the issue of legacy and remedies for these workers. A report submitted by consultancy Human Level in December 2023 has yet to be published by FIFA, raising concerns among rights groups and stakeholders.
