England and Wales among 10 FAs urging Fifa to deliver on Qatar workers’ rights

Ten European footballing nations, including England and Wales, have broken ranks to demand that Fifa delivers on promises of a positive legacy for workers’ rights in Qatar.

The countries have made a public request that Fifa step up on two issues it has “repeatedly committed to deliver” but currently remain unfulfilled: a permanent worker’s rights centre in Qatar and a compensation fund for migrant workers and their families. It comes days after the Fifa president Gianni Infantino wrote to all World Cup qualifiers asking they put “politics” to one side and “let football take the stage”.
