Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup bid to be ratified by Fifa despite rights violations
Briefly

Saudi Arabia's bid for the 2034 World Cup raises alarm over potential rights violations, especially regarding the treatment of migrant workers essential for the event's preparation.
Human rights organizations are concerned that widespread abuse of migrant workers, who comprise over 10 million in the Kingdom, will exacerbate with the World Cup’s infrastructure demands.
With more than 1,500 migrant workers from Bangladesh dying in Saudi Arabia in 2022 alone, advocates question the categorization of these deaths and call for accountability.
Activists stress that many unexplained deaths of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia reflect an urgent need for reform, as current working conditions can lead to tragic outcomes.
