How the French Football Team Can Support Human Rights

During the World Cup in Qatar in November 2022, the French team will play matches in stadiums and stay in hotels built by migrant workers, many who have never received compensation for abuses they suffered since arriving in Qatar, including avoidable injuries, wage theft and exorbitant recruitment fees. Thousands have lost lives to unexplained causes that were never investigated nor compensated. In Qatar, migrant workers are not allowed to join unions or participate in strikes - so many migrant workers suffer these abuses silently for years. 

Didier Deschamps, coach of the French national team, has always assured his players were "free to express themselves" on the plight of migrant workers in Qatar. However, the reality is much more ambiguous, especially because of the immense influence of Qatar in the French football world...

Qatar's influence should not stop Lloris, other French national team players and the French Football Federation (FFF) from acting in solidarity with migrant workers. They can use their influence and join our call for FIFA and Qatar to provide remedies including financial compensation for the human rights violations suffered by migrant workers. In doing so, they will lend their voices to migrant workers who have been silenced by an abusive system in which speaking out can lead to arrest, imprisonment and deportation.
