Fifa has turned down requests for independent oversight of migrant workers' conditions in Saudi Arabia as preparations for the 2034 World Cup commence. The African Regional Organisation of the International Trade Union Confederation urged Fifa to enhance protections for these workers due to Saudi Arabia's troubling human rights history. Despite these appeals, Fifa maintains that existing safeguards are adequate and emphasizes the Saudi commitments made during their World Cup bid, which include the establishment of a workers' welfare system, without explicitly addressing ITUC-Africa's specific demands regarding oversight and labor system reforms.
Fifa has rejected calls for an independent monitor to assess migrant workers' conditions in Saudi Arabia prior to the 2034 World Cup, citing existing measures as sufficient.
ITUCAfrica urged FIFA to protect migrant workers, highlighting Saudi Arabia's concerning human rights record and requesting an end to the kafala labor system.
