The Workers Cup Film

A very human documentary inside Qatar’s labour camps where migrant workers building facilities for #WorldCup #Qatar2022, play in their own football tournament.

"A superbly moving documentary...that should really be shown to every team going to Qatar in November." A great write up in today's @Independent by @MiguelDelaney https://t.co/MYkfulf5Gf

Investigation by @EquidemOrg “Free to be Exploited” into the labour conditions facing migrant delivery riders across the Gulf — workers who power platforms like @Deliveroo, @Talabat, @HungerStation, and @Careem, yet remain largely invisible.

Thinking about the security of the people who have little or no safety net working in #Doha. As well as all the people who have escaped war zones to find peace in Qatar. Workers man, clean, build, protect every part of #Qatar including the airbases and other military spaces.

“@FIFAWorldCup today announced…with #Qatar… $50m Legacy Fund for the #Qatar2022 World Cup.
The fund DOES NOT include any compensation for affected workers, though it provides some funding…to protect workers from heat stress in the future.” @amnesty

“I had lost both my parents before I turned 10; my cousins and uncle were my family. I needed to help them... I hedged all my bets on a Gulf job.” Powerful testimony from a man building his life in #qatar @MigrantRights #workerrights

We are big supporters of women’s football here @FIFAWWC but also of the #workers who make it all possible. We wish this was not so predictable (by @EquidemOrg ) https://t.co/RopekM0fCa

Brilliant innovative storytelling here about how professional #football #soccer player Abdul Aziz Suleiman was tricked into coming to work rather than play in #Qatar2022 https://t.co/8m1vvccB4Y @fairsqprojects @natashaiskander
