Six months after the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, our research - After the Final Whistle: Migrant workers speak out on exploitation during Qatar World Cup 2022 - revealed systemic labour rights abuse among workers in Qatar during the World Cup, including extortionate and illegal fee-charging, wage theft, an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, and a serious lack of due diligence or monitoring by employers and workplaces on how workers were being treated at work. We asked all participating, visiting football associations the following;

1. Invite you to respond to the findings of the report; and,
2. Invite you to disclose information regarding the risks to workers detected by your systems during the tournament, including:

• How many reports of abuse your organisation detected among contracted companies’ workforces, including at team and staff hotels;
• The steps your organization took in response to those reports; and,
• The steps taken to remedy and compensate workers, including amounts reimbursed in the case of recruitment fee-payment and wage theft.

During the World Cup, the DFB paid close attention to the conditions for employees at companies with which we worked directly in Qatar. As far as possible, the DFB has endeavored to identify and avoid possible human rights risks, especially with regard to labor standards. No violations of these standards by the partner companies are known or reported to the DFB.
