FIFA pressed over worker conditions building up to Qatar World Cup

Like many Gulf countries, Qatar relies on migrant workers in order for the economy to grow and develop. In the next ten years Qatar plans to construct nine new stadiums to host the 2022 Football World Cup. Most of the workers who construct these stadiums will come from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh). Many of these migrants live in cramped conditions and work extremely long hours in stifling heat. Trade Union activists have urged FIFA to look at the conditions of many of these workers in a bid to improve them.
