FIFA will welcome a delegation of Amnesty International (AI) on Monday, 14 March 2022 at the Home of FIFA in Zurich to discuss the situation of migrant workers in Qatar in connection with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.
The meeting will provide the opportunity for Amnesty to handover a petition calling on FIFA to address this matter and will be followed by a discussion with experts from FIFA and its local partner in Qatar to look at the progress achieved so far and the challenges that still remain.
"We very much welcome the ongoing engagement with Amnesty International and are always open to transparently and constructively discussing and addressing any concerns that our stakeholders may have. We remain fully committed to ensuring the protection of workers engaged in the delivery of the World Cup, and we are confident that the tournament will also serve as a catalyst for broader positive and lasting change across the host country." said FIFA's Chief Social Responsibility & Education Officer Joyce Cook.
