FIFA's response re: due diligence in hotel selection for football teams' and clubs' stay in Qatar

FIFA... is fully committed to safeguarding the rights of workers contributing to the hosting of [the FIFA Club World Cup 2019 and FIFA World Cup 2022]...

Increased emphasis is now being given also to operational services workers, including those employed by national and international hotel chains... FIFA and the other tournament organisers are part of a multi-stakeholder initiative to promote workers’ rights in the Qatari hospitality sector... to strengthen [hotels'] efforts to uphold their own human rights responsibilities, in line with FIFA’s Human Rights Policy and well-established FIFA World Cup standards... the participating teams are made aware of this commitment and of the initiatives in place to uphold it.
