FIFA should pay workers harmed in building World Cup venues, its committee report says
Briefly

The FIFA-commissioned report concluded that FIFA has a responsibility to compensate migrant workers abused during the 2022 World Cup, where serious human rights violations occurred.
The independent study affirmed that FIFA took steps to respect human rights but acknowledged that severe human rights impacts occurred in Qatar from 2010 through 2022.
A credible argument can be made that FIFA contributed to the impacts faced by workers; however, the main responsibility lies with employers and the Qatari government.
Despite the recommendations to use the Qatar legacy fund for migrant worker support, FIFA has announced it will allocate the $50 million to international development projects instead.
