Conservative MP Damian Collins has called on president Gianni Infantino to speak out after a new report by Amnesty International alleged systematic abuse of migrant workers involved in preparations for the 2022 World Cup.
Collins, a member of the House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport, believes FIFA has not addressed crucial issues relating to the tournament in Qatar.
The report claimed workers were being forced to live in squalid accommodation, pay huge recruitment fees and have had wages withheld and passports confiscated.
The 50-page document, entitled "The ugly side of the beautiful game: Labour exploitation on a Qatar 2022 World Cup venue," was produced after interviews with 132 workers at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha and 99 others who had worked in the surrounding complex between February and May last year.
