Migrant workers reportedly face human rights abuses in the construction of stadiums and infrastructure in the country. According to Michalski, Bayern Munich has fallen short of its human rights obligations, “contradict[ing] the values the club claims to champion.” He urged the club to publicly address these concerns and ensure that its not involved, directly or indirectly, in human rights violations.
