WM: Qatar does not recognize victims of work, relatives will demand 380 million compensation
The number of dead workers in Qatar is in the tens of thousands, but organizers are not acknowledging them. The families of the victims are demanding millions in compensation.
The kick-off time for the 2022 World Cup is fast approaching, but at the same time rumors are mounting about what happened in the run-up to the event in Qatar.
Human Rights Watch’s Minky Worden reported on the workers who lost their lives between 2010 and 2019, and the numbers are tragic.
“Qatar’s official statistics show that 15,021 non-Qatarians died in the country between 2010 and 2019. Not a single migrant worker should have died to make a World Cup possible. Still, thousands died in Qatar,” he said.
In 2021, the Guardian claimed in a report that at least 6,750 migrant workers had died in Qatar since the country was awarded the World Cup, while an investigation by the Daily Mail claimed that there were 2,823 unexplained deaths of non-Qatari working-age workers in Qatar have given Qatar since 2011.
At the same time, the organization’s High Commissioner for Tradition and Legacy claims that there are only three work-related deaths at the World Cup.
Qatar does not grant compensation
Another major problem has to do with compensating the victims’ families, who, according to the Daily Mail, will demand an amount in the region of 380,000,000, about the same as the money FIFA is giving as a bounty.
Although compensation is provided for the victims’ families, it does not cover deaths from natural causes such as heart or pressure, even if the worker’s health was seriously affected by the construction conditions.

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
