The event comes just weeks before the World Cup in Qatar, which has been increasingly criticized for its treatment of women, migrant workers and the LGBTQ+ community.

FIFA’s decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar has been surrounded by controversy, especially regarding migrant workers and the LGBTQ+ community.

Qatar has been under intense scrutiny of the physical and contractual terms of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers in the small emirate since the World Cup hosting rights were won 12 years ago.

It remains to be seen how much time World Cup broadcasters will spend bringing to the attention of the accusations against the Qatari government, including The Guardian’s 2013 claims that workers were denied food and water and had their passports stolen. declined.

Some argue that they were not paid, or if they were, the payments were minimal and long overdue. A 2019 study by the Daily Mirror found that 28,000 workers were paid about $1 per hour over a 48-hour workweek.

Most damning, The Wall Street Journal reported in 2015 that more than 1,200 workers died building the infrastructure for the tournament. Last year, The Guardian brought that figure closer to 6,500.

Qatar also punishes homosexuality with imprisonment and considers men to be the guardians of their female relatives.

It also has strict laws on alcohol, drugs, public intimacy, extramarital relationships, dress code, and swearing.

In March, FIFA President Gianni Infantino claimed Qatar has been progressive on labor rights: “I am delighted to see the strong commitment of the Qatari authorities to ensure that reforms are fully implemented in the labor market, creating a lasting legacy of the FIFA World Cup is left behind. long after the event, and in the long run benefit migrant workers in the host country.’

Some campaigners have urged celebrities to boycott the World Cup, with Robbie Williams and David Beckham both criticized for their ties to the league.

Robbie was recently revealed as one of the music acts who will be performing at the Qatar Live concerts at a press conference in Doha.

Meanwhile, David agreed a £10m deal to become the country’s ambassador for more than a decade, which has resulted in him being the face of the 2022 World Cup.
