November 8 – Following in the footsteps of a clamour of rights groups, Human Rights Watch has warned that a 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia risks widespread labour abuse.
“Saudi Arabia’s FIFA World Cup hosting documents ignore the country’s egregious human rights violations, including inadequate heat protections, unchecked wage theft, the ban on labour unions and an abusive kafala labour system,” said Minky Worden, director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch.
