Cantona breaks out: “I won’t see the World Cup in Qatar, thousands killed”

More than 6,500 migrant workers have lost their lives while working in appalling conditions to build stadiums in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup.after what the Guardian had brought to light in February 2021.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has attacked Qatar, accusing the country of brutal treatment of workers.

In the interview, he specifically gave the Daily Mail the 55-year-old French man who made a name for himself as a footballer with the red jersey (1992-1997) and won 4 championships, 2 cups and 3 charity shields during this time.

“To be honest, I’m not interested in this World Cup at all. For me it is not a real World Cup. Qatar is not a football country. I am not against the idea of ​​hosting this event in a country that “can promote and develop the football World Cup, as has happened with the USA and South Africa over the past few decades.

There is nothing in Qatar, just money. Everything is done for the money. Their behavior, and their behavior towards the people who were involved in building the stadiums, is terrible. Thousands of people were killed. “And yet we’re celebrating the World Cup.” said Cantona, who then added:

“I’m not going to watch it. I understand football is a business.”
