Previously, as reported by the BBC, 6,500 workers from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries had died in Qatar during construction work linked to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
However, the Qatari government disputed these figures saying that it had recorded only 37 deaths between 2014 and 2020, three of which were due to work-related problems.

Then alcohol restrictions and anti-LGBTQ+ laws are also another reason why many parties are expressing objections to the continuation of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Recently, former FIFA President Sepp Blatter admitted that awarding the tournament to Qatar was a “mistake”. For this reason, Fernandes who is also a Manchester United player is not happy with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“We know that surrounded by the (controversial) World Cup, what has happened in recent weeks, in recent months, regarding people who have died in the construction of stadiums. We don’t like that at all” , said Fernandes, as quoted by Sky Sport.
“We want football for everyone. Everyone should be involved in the World Cup, because the World Cup is for the world, no matter who. I don’t think something like this should have happened,” he added.
This World Cup is more than football. It’s a party for fans and players. Something that’s fun to watch needs to be done in a better way.” (Shelviola Marshallren)
