In the lead-up to the World Cup, the Socceroos were among those pushing Qatar to improve its treatment of migrant workers. So has the nation heeded the calls and what will the World Cup's legacy be? Read more:
FIFA has defended Qatar and called Western critics hypocritical.Anish left his poverty-stricken family in Nepal to help build Qatar's Lusail Stadium, with the hope of providing for his loved ones.
The weather was so hot while Anish and other migrant workers built the state-of-the-art stadiums, he said "even if we drank 10 bottles of water, we did not feel the need to urinate".Equidem said HBK Contracting Company, Anish's former employer, did not respond to their request for comment. The study, conducted between 2009 and 2017, found a strong correlation between average monthly afternoon heat levels and cardiovascular disease mortality among the workers.
“Today I feel Qatari. I feel Arab. I feel African. I feel gay. I feel disabled. I feel a migrant worker.”Those comments by the Swiss millionaire were labelled by Human Rights Watch as "absurd" and by South African football journalist Melissa Reddy as "disrespectful". Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy said its World Cup has "contributed to a legacy of progress, better practice, and improving lives - and it’s a legacy that will live long after the final ball is kicked.’’
