Much has been written and spoken about Qatar in the lead-up to the 2022 World Cup later this month. Some of that is how FIFA pushed the tournament to the fall to avoid the harsh summer heat. But a lot of it revolves around the country's treatment of workers who helped build the stadiums which will be home to the matches this month.
despite the country's assertion that"all are welcome.
."It's about many workers from Qatar, but also migrant workers, having to work non-stop in sometimes 50 degree heat. At the same time, they also suffer from malnutrition, a lack of drinking water is insane, especially at these temperatures. As a result, safety at work is absolutely not guaranteed, medical care is not there and sometimes some violence is carried out on the workers.
This is a sentiment shared by Bayern Munich and German defender Joshua Kimmich, who said in September that players are"12 years too late" to protest the World Cup being in Qatar despite any misgivings about the location of the tournament.
