Shocking wife of dead Qatari worker: ‘His life was worth so little, he worked long hours in the heat with no shade’
Shocking is the story of the wife of an undefeated worker from Nepal who lost her life working for the World Cup in Qatar.
Ruba was another case of a man who went to Qatar to work and returned to Nepal in a coffin. According to the Daily Mail, 239 workers from Nepal have died in Qatar in the 12 months from 2020 to 2021. However, 45% of deaths were attributed to natural causes.
The numbers are shocking. Qatar’s national statistics service reveals that since 2011, more than 18,000 migrant workers have died in the country, which hosts the biggest sports festival. However, the Qatar World Cup High Commission records as “work-related” deaths only those that happened in its stages.
This is because the host country of the World Cup does not consider heat, long working hours or living conditions as contributing factors to “work-related” deaths.
For most, Rouba is just another number, another death. To Pahrin, however, he was her husband and the father of the boy she had in her womb.
In a letter of 800 words The Secretary-General of the High Commission, Hassan Al Thawadi, expressed his deep regret but thoughtfully declined their claim for compensation that the 1,750 euros he has already received “help”. Her words to the Daily Mail are shocking:
“His life seemed worth so little in the end. I just wanted him to be here with me, not asking for money for his life. When I was told he was dying, I felt like I was falling from heaven. He was Beyond imagination I couldn’t How can I forget him?
They said his heart was responsible for his death, but he never had a problem. He told me about the heat out there, how he felt the heat of the street under his shoes.
He told me there was no shadow on the field when he was hanging on the ropes. “He worked long hours, but he never had a health problem.”
The fatal call and denial of compensation
Pahrin received the fatal call from a colleague who told her: “He died in his sleep.”
An hour later, an officer called her and the woman revealed: “They said that if she died in the field but not in the hospital, she would be entitled to compensation.”

Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
