Qatar 2022: Gianni Infantino wants body to monitor working conditions

See all tags

Fifa President Gianni Infantino has said a new independent committee will be set up to monitor working conditions at Qatar's 2022 World Cup venues. The move is an attempt by the world football's governing body to ease fears of human rights abuses in the state.

Amnesty International - who last month accused Qatar of using forced labour - welcomed "steps in the right direction"...Amnesty International's Gulf Migrants Rights Researcher Mustafa Qadri said: "Finally it appears Fifa is waking up to the fact that unless it takes concrete action, the Qatar 2022 World Cup will be built on the blood, sweat and tears of migrant workers."
