FIFA misleading the world on compensation to migrant workers, say four global rights organisations

As the World Cup nears end, there has been no progress in providing compensation to injured workers who built the stadiums in Qatar and victims’ families.

The top football governing body, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA, has failed to fulfil its responsibility towards the migrant workers involved in the construction of the World Cup-related projects in Qatar, said four international human rights organisations on Monday.
