Soccer World Cup: Migrant laborers in Qatar | DW Documentary



Trade unions have described the working conditions as modern slavery: Migrant workers from across the world built the football stadiums in Qatar – in dubious conditions. This is their story.

Sujan Mia came to Qatar from Bangladesh hoping to enable a bette rlife for his family. He returned in a coffin, with the circumstances of his death unclear to this day. Malcolm Bidali from Kenia came to Qatar to work – and ended up in prison. Today, he’s back in Kenia and wants to help other migrant workers. Despite the attention surrounding the Soccer World Cup, change seems to be hard to come by in Qatar. A report by Florian Nusch, with illustrations from Aleksandra Kononova.

  1. The documentary states it is one of the countries with highest emission of CO2 per person and still so many people from around the world will take flights towards this country. The world is having Cop27 meetings to discuss environment and at the same time, actions aren't to the level. Should people rethink before taking actions? Should people take part in other people's bad action? Should people attend?

  2. N people still go. How they are treated in these Arab countries is only a symptom. Home countries are more to blame. These arab countries only take advantage of the failed home countries

  3. Depressing to see how less significance is given to the lives of these migrant workers by Qatar government. This FIFA World Cup will go down as one being a treatise of corruption, greed and murder rather than being a celebration of sportsmanship.
