Amnesty: Human rights play second fiddle to ‘politics and money’ at FIFA


Human rights continue to play second fiddle to “politics and money” at FIFA, according to Amnesty International. On November 21, 2022 all eyes will be on the Lusail Stadium in Doha as the Qatar World Cup finally gets under way. Despite Qatar’s promises of reform ahead of 2022 World Cup, it remains a playground for unscrupulous employers. He told the PA news agency: “As a business they have a responsibility to respect human rights, they are very often not doing the due diligence they need to, or using the power they have to improve human rights in a country. “With things like the awarding of the Club World Cup to China, the sense that we get is that the human rights policy that FIFA has plays second fiddle to the bigger politics and money around.
