![📢 As the 2026 FIFA World Cup unfolds across the United States, Mexico and Canada, @equidemorg is calling on @FIFA, host governments and corporate partners to urgently uphold the rights of workers, migrants, players, referees, fans and local communities connected to the tournament.
Equidem’s new report builds on more than five years of research into labour rights abuses linked to #FIFA tournaments and warns that labour exploitation, discrimination, immigration enforcement, heat-related risks and lack of transparency continue to pose serious human-rights concerns across the World Cup ecosystem. ⚽
🗣️ “The World Cup is meant to stand for dignity, unity and the shared joy of football [...]. FIFA still has an opportunity to make those values real by acting now: remedying abuses that have already occurred, preventing further harm, and ensuring that every person connected to the tournament is protected in practice, not just in principle,” said Mustafa Qadri, Equidem’s CEO.
The #SRA stands with Equidem in urging FIFA to strengthen protections, increase transparency and ensure effective remedies for those affected by abuses linked to the tournament. ✊
@FIFA must act now to #KeepTheWorld in the World Cup.
