Since Qatar won the bid to host the World Cup, it has made numerous pledges to improve migrant workers' rights. However, human rights organizations have long criticized Qatar for labor abuse throughout the building of new stadiums.

Indeed, in 2021, Amnesty International issued a report that read, "Despite introducing important legal reforms, Qatar has still not delivered on its promise to end labour abuses and exploitation of its more than two million migrant workers."
