In Qatar, where the soccer World Cup will start in November, human rights groups have pointed out that foreign workers involved in the construction of stadiums have died under poor working conditions and have not received sufficient compensation. I'm here.

He also clarified that he would encourage FIFA = the International Football Federation to establish a fund to support workers who could not receive compensation from companies.



Regarding this issue, an international human rights organization, Amnesty International, etc. issued a statement requesting cooperation from the football associations of each country on the 20th, two months before the opening, and this time in response to this.
