FIFA questions report on human rights abuses at World Cup construction sites
June 15 – FIFA has defended another attack on its record of protecting construction workers building the 2018 World Cup stadia in Russia, saying that a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report is mis-representative of the situation.
FIFA said in a statement that “while incompliances with relevant labour standards continue to be found — something to be expected in a project of this scale — the overall message of exploitation on the construction sites portrayed by HRW does not correspond with FIFA’s assessment.”
