FIFA knew of North Korean workers human rights abuse in St Petersburg, claims report
May 26 – A report by Britain’s Guardian newspaper claims FIFA knew about North Korean workers being employed in dire conditions in the construction of a 2018 World Cup site in St Petersburg.
Until now, Qatar’s 2022 World Cup organisers have been the centre of attention when it comes to human rights but the Guardian says there have been abuses of migrant workers in Russia.
The paper quotes a leaked letter to the presidents of four Nordic football associations in which Infantino is reported to have acknowledged that North Koreans working on the Zenit Arena have been held in “often appalling” conditions.
