Qatar’s legacy for labour rights.
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been mired in scandals over workers rights, with unprecedented calls to boycott the football tournament. FIFA seems to be finally taking a cue. The soccer organisation is finalising a memorandum of understanding with the International Labour Organization (ILO) that would have it assess working conditions in countries bidding to host future world cups. The content of the agreement is still in discussions, with ILO treading carefully before signing anything.
