Amnesty International and global trade unions are pressing FIFA to enforce human rights standards in the bidding process for the 2030 and 2034 World Cups, with a particular focus on Saudi Arabia's bid.
They demand transparent bidding processes, binding human rights reforms, and independent assessments to protect workers' rights, especially in countries with questionable labor practices like Saudi Arabia. The call for action comes amid concerns over the treatment of migrant workers and the need for FIFA to learn from past controversies, such as those surrounding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
FIFA is yet to respond to these concerns as the official bid book filing deadline approaches.
