FIFA full of praise for Qatar's unique Workers Cup

FIFA, the international governing body of football, has praised the recent Workers Cup in Doha, as a reflection of the "power of football" by providing an opportunity for workers involved in the 2022 FIFA World Cup projects to be part of a "unique footballing event."

The competition was sponsored by the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC), who is primarily tasked with the delivery of infrastructure required for the World Cup.

The competition offers the chance to show appreciation of those who have worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth-running of Qatar 2022, FIFA said on its website.

"FIFA remains committed to ensuring the rights and welfare of workers in Qatar continue to be protected and that the mechanisms put in place for the construction of World Cup infrastructure continue to go in the right direction." [Qatar News Agency]

Qatar should distance itself from corrupt organizations like FIFA or people might see Qatar in the same light.

"FIFA remains committed to ensuring the rights and welfare of workers in Qatar continue to be protected." Hahahahaha. How are they going to do that? Send independent observers to Qatar who are arrested when they dare to visit the laborers? I don't believe anything this corrupt organization publishes!
