FIFA president Gianni Infantino described preparations for the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar as “impressive” during a whistle-stop tour of the World cup hosting nation.

But what Infantino failed to see was the amount of slave labour and inhumane treatment suffered by migrant workers in Qatar.

Human Rights and Humanitarian agencies have pointed out numerously the ill practices by Qatar all to meet up with the 2022 deadline for the world-cup, ranging from Lack of pay, inhabitable living quarters, lack of basic amenities and in this Covid pandemic era. They aren't even given mask or sanitizers for protecting themselves.

FIFA President for the sake of humanity and not to have bad omen stench the world cup, should shift the world cup from Qatar and to another country.

The movements of non tolerance, all lives matter and say no to racism has to be reciprocated here.
