Ever since Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 World Cup finals seven years ago, both FIFA and the tiny, gas-rich Persian Gulf state has been mired in accusations of alleged corruption and, more seriously, the poor treatment of the migrant workers who are building the country's stadiums and infrastructure. One word in particular has entered into the public's lexicon: Kafala.

#qatar2022 #fifa #worldcup - Sport
As a Bangladeshi, I'm really grateful to you for covering this topic.
I have been hearing about such problems since I was 6.
SoccerScoutsBDTM Hope Qatar gets bombed and is made like Syria then they will know
@@basshunterdota625 no since the people that will suffer would be the migrant workers
@@basshunterdota625 they make up a majority of the population the people responsible will just leave
@@P_S9098 Sooner or later they're poised to get freedom , a total boycott from West and western sanctions will break the country and put them back to stone age era đ
I am from Bangladesh & I can verify this is true.
Never thought Bangladesh would be featured in Tifo football like this.
:-(
rod of discipline This has nothing to do with religion
@rod of discipline bro it's nothing to do with religion it's all about the greed of that country's government and local agents in labourers home country
@rod of discipline uh so Islam allows muslims to mistreat others of the same kind like do you honestly think things would be any different if it was any other religion?
Its more of poverty issue, people that are struggling in poorer countries have this mindset that literally anywhere is better than where they currently live and thus easily fall into these traps where they would leave and get any job (no matter how degrading it is seen by others) in places like the middle east or south east asia. Then they are taken advantage of by disgusting people who don't care your beliefs just because they need work done cheap and fast. Its more about discrimination based on nationality than religion.
I hope this helps.
Quit spreading fake news you twat
We should boycott the 2022 World Cup
Niggato Orange Juice lool yeah that's what you guys can do bring wars propoganda exploit African nations with weapons by united states only to get mineral resources out of Africa ever think why Congo is poor when it has all the resources .it's us propoganda to eat off wealth .and one more thing instead of putting a ban make it more lucrative in your western countries to work for expats but lool that won't happen why because the whites just suck the lives everywhere to fell comfortable for themselves
Koibito for Christ's sake, learn to speak properly before trying to make statements about something. Lool-ing everywhere.
Niggato Orange Juice that's what western regimes are deceptive .
Koibito u mean that's why
Koibito Congo is a shithole country, just like Qatar, Bangladesh and all the rest. Those shithole countries allow this slavery, not the US or western countries. The only people who seem to care about this slavery are "the whites" in western countries.
The way the World Cup is And has been set up in Qatar is an absolute disgrace on FIFAâs behalf
The estimated number of worker's deaths before the first ball is kicked at Qatar was estimated around 4,500 while still possible to increase.
Football is for everyone, but maybe not all countries should host the worldcup. Brazil now is not using most of its wc stadiums and qatar is paying in corrupted millions and workers life and that clearly not worth it.
Well I hope some Pro Players will boycott the World Cup for this reasons. Atleast that would be the thing I would do.
Dave I think this is the only way.... They got that peru playes ban overturned
Lool it's all bs. I was there last summer and what you read is all propaganda. The workers are happier then anywhere else in the gulf....
Hamzah Kallis you are blind
We donât have enough gentlemen playing this game now, Iâm sure all those Pro will go there and promote Qatar
Rajesh Chakraborty Of course. You dont get to play a world cup every day. And are you saying they arent gentlemen? They are way more athletic and stronger than you are you fat sack of shit. Why dont you become a footballer?
Thousands have already died due to inadequate safety precautions by the Qatar government building the world class stadiums in Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, most of them happen to be Bangladeshi men. The Bangladeshi Embassy in Qatar and the government of Bangladesh are reluctant to do anything about it as it would raise the prices of Bangladeshi labor exports to Qatar and hence fewer labors would be hired. Do note, the 2022 World Cup is 4 years away and it is estimated, thousands more shall likely lose their lives/be injured due to bad safety practices (as per a study by Dhaka University). Truly baffling how the nation boasting the owners of the richest football club owners of the World Can be so ignorant when it comes to Human Lives. Let thousands die due to your negligence which could have been avoided with some cheap safety precautions while you spend multiple instances of 220 million dollars on a single players like Neymar.
Shafqat i agree with you 220M is a joke with that money you can help people who have nothing to eat but qatar and fifa,Uefa are the big problem in football
They are not ignorant. They are fully aware of what they're doing. A few numbers on the bank accounts are more important to them than the lives of those poor workers, and do they it with FIFA's blessing.
Sometimes i think you guys can't get any better but fortunately you prove me wrong,thank you for this
Appreciate the support. Glad you are enjoying the content
How can us European nations pretend to care about human rights while supporting this abuse? I think European nations should boycott the World Cup in 2022.
Here's a video we did on this very subject in April of 2016: czcams.com/video/uWd3-Xt-Bmc/video.html
In that case these glorious European nations should've boycotted the Brazil world cup.
i think the world cup should only occur in countries that do have the facilities or are willing to treat workers fairly..
@@Tifo You should make another Video encouraging the boycott of Qatar
The allegations mentioned in the video are not true at all !! A bunch of lies.
The sponsorship system guarantees the rights of both the employees and employers but the abuse actually comes from the immigrantâs country that allows brokers in their countries to sell the working visa for their own citizens to work in the Gulf Countries. The sponsorship system is applied even in the UK and many other countries to protect their economy and security against criminals.
This may be the among the best videos this channel has produced. Hats off to you, Tifo Football!
TokenBlackman7 I have to agree and I have seen a lot of the videos
I am from Bangladesh. Thank you so much for this video.
I'm a UAE local and i agree on most of this, great effort is put to solve this problem and from inside of the country u can see that as many activities, regulations and systems are developed to improve their life. But still a migrant worker's life is by no means easy, especially the ones who fall with bad sponsors.
Salem Almuhairi Who is a bad sponsor? Can you give me any names to research on?
it's quite hard since almost any citizen can be a sponsor there
We are belonging to Qatar since 1957 we are here since now 3rd generation we donât have even permanent residence permit in Qatar. Arabs has very small brain with small heart.
Very well constructed and delivered . You enlighten such a topic which is unknown to many other people in world.
Under kafala they also take away the migrant's visa. So there is absolutely no way to escape the country
Exploitation of migrant workers from southeast asia, especially bangladeshi people happens in Maldives too. They are treated as slaves and are forced to live in inhumane conditions. Big Companies treat them as goods, and essentially orders them from local agents. When they arrive their passports are held. The sad thing is, it is the bangladeshi agents that lie to their own countrymen and persuades them that there is a better future abroad.
Very thorough and unbiased as always. Im glad you guys mentioned the exploitation that happens to the workers before they get to the gulf countries, and how the governments of Pakistan India and Bangladesh do not stand up for the workers.
Ahh yes victim-shaming. As if governments can go against the Muslim Brotherhood with no consequences
Qatar should be banned from all forms of football for at least 10 year and the hosts changed. fifa have blood on their hands
Adrian Mc Garth Stfu why didnt you say that about Brazil?
Props to you guys for showing really how awful the situation for workers is. It's a shame that nothing's gonna happen because of the farcical nature of world politics.
Just recently, Turkeyâs Erdogan regime - which arrests, jails, and persecutes human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents - was just elected Vice-Chair of the U.N. Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, which accredits and oversees the U.N. activity of human rights.
It's complete bullshit
Im so glad im stumbled upon ur channel a few months back. This is the best football channel out here by far.i actually learn a lot of stuffs through ur videos. Keep up the good work. By the way, the animations r great
You forget Nepalese migrant workers @Tifofootball But you are always the best in every way đđ
A great video.A different one,but a great one nonetheless.Everytime Joe gets the credit for his magnificent narration but James Montague deserves credit too for the brilliant articles.đ
Long story short,the entire Tifo team is awesome and the best football channel on YT.â€ïž
Great that youâre speaking up about this.
Been on about it for quite some time; check out this video we did: czcams.com/video/uWd3-Xt-Bmc/video.html
Damn You Coronavirus....you sould have been here in 2022, not 2020.....
The real worry is when people celebrate their country's triumph...
It will be at the cost of 100's or 1000's of humans ....
Only just appeared on my feed but thanks for this, please keep us updated
I remember making a statement against you guys in the last video you did regarding Qatar 2022, but I totally agree with you guys on this one.
Spot on! Great job
My dream is that different FAs band together to hold another world cup somewhere else and effectively do something to replace FIFA, but we all know that wont ever happen..
Didn't realise how much this channel has grown recently wow only been here since like 20K but now your bear x10 that its mad yous all deserve it keep up the good Tifo
+Jeremy Testicle Man đ„
Thanks & kudos for shedding light on this crucial topic.
Nicely said and done . I live in k.s.a and you guys managed to picture it very beautifully.
A method of cheating in the Kafala system is using 2 contracts. One in English (or whatever language the worker speaks) and one in Arabic, that has different terms (less salary, benefits) and only the Arabic contract is legally binding
THANK YOU for making such an important video
Great video. Nice to always explore football related issues outside the football pitch.
I learn a lot by watching all your videos. Just amazing.
Huge respect for making this video.
Thx for this video :)
Incredibly well done. Bravo.
As someone who lived in the UAE, you hit every single angle in this vid! A+!
The trruth about Bangladesh is 100 % true . I am from there. The people who doezs not get any work they go to middle east and ruin their lives.
you tell 'em! good work
Your channel is awesome
Such well made and informative videos.
Holy shit! And FIFA did nothing!? WTF why is Blatter even free? What happened to our game!?
Daniel fifa became a corrupt shell of its former self, hopefully one day the beutiful game gets rid of its ugly undertones
Now this was an interesting video that I didn't expect from this channel, but I hope you'll make similar videos like this in the future because it was both entertaining and educational.
I'm going to guess that the workers were probably not only persuaded but were made to believe that the conditions would be better in Qatar. Some of those migrants who came to work probably had no choice because the life they were living in was already quite bad, and they may have thought that anything could be better than their current siuation. South Asian countries have an abundance of people, which many use to their advantage in labour, and it has been going on for a while now.
Now we only have to wait and see what the outcome of this world cup will be, but what we do know for now is that the 2022 world cup is going to be one that will be remembered for these reasons.
Superb video, thank you very much!
I no itâs wrong but I canât stop myself watching a World Cup.
Imagine that, the culture that has been most involved in slavery for the last 1400 years is taking advantage of desperate foreign workers. People sometimes forget that these places do not value life the same way we do.
That's so true I've known about this for years. Appreciate your work guys keep it up đđŸđđŸđđŸ
Great work. homework really well done
It's amazing that you're also spreading awareness about violations which the football world knowingly or unknowingly supports.
Thank you for your insight †its going to be hard to watch the world cup and not think of them đ
I am here in Qatar as a solutions architect also I am a published author in USA with my technical books in some of the respected libraries of USA. I hold an Indian passport, so hourly rates go down by half for that reason alone as compared to passports from a first-world nation.
Secondly, every time I need to fly outside Qatar - I need to raise an exit permit request on a full fledged ERP system which has a line of approvals. It goes to my manager, then to the director and to the ER etc. Finally, the company logs an exit permit request with the govt. Without this exit permit clearance I am not allowed to fly outside Qatar.
On the other hand, I earn lot of respect and tax-free salary at work. It's your own call at the end. Having said that, imagine the kind of trauma a poor worker goes who is away from loved ones for months and years. ILO must make it mandatory to brief such workers about the kafaala conditions, if they agree the home country must leave it to the workers to decide whether they want to go or not.
I am here by choice and the day I feel I am compromising my core values primarily the freedom and fundamental human right - I will sign off.
Finally, god helps those who help themselves. Period!
Its funny how the middle east never gave up slavery - yet here we are in the west still being told how bad imperialism was. It is such a juxtaposition. Its hard to grasp.
Well explained
Not only in Qatar! In 2018 there were rumours that North Koreans in North Korean labor camps in Russia,were being sent to build new facilities for the Russia 2018 WC. Who knows if there are also North Koreans from Labor Camps working in Qatar??
Kudos to u brother. All the things said in this video are true. Your channel is awesome. đđđ
You guys need to do a profile of iwobi. Heâs massively underrated at arsenal
Do a vid on agent p & history if players helping their clubs sign other players
I really like what you guys are doing. Do you have any job openings in the States?
FIFA announced that the qatar World Cup could be stripped
Should PSG also be banned since they are owned by Qatar Sports Group which is a subsidiary of the Qatar government?
The Sponsorship system in Saudi Arabia is different than anywhere around the gulf, it has been since 2011.
minimum wages existed a long time ago and has been increased even more to almost the same as the Saudi citizen minimum wage.
as for the the permission for leaving the country, it is misinterpreted here in the video, Iâm not sure about the other gulf countries, but in Saudi Arabia all workers are free to ever leave the country according to the durations of vacations in there contracts, (standardized as 1 month per year) earned after 6 months of work which is a labor law for all workers including citizens, of course leaving before that period without the permission of their employer, is faced with a ban for not returning to the country for 5-10 years.
the sponsorship system was set after mafias of workers took over businesses and basically were the largest business owners in the country, and ejecting all of that money to their countries below the radar.
the sponsorship system now is a lot more humane (in Saudi Arabia) than before, yet it is still flawed and can be inhumane to some minorities of workers especially ones from 18-21 years old if their gaurdian wasnât in the country.
good work guys, just make sure to update your information and check your sources.
Huge Fan!
#Pray for the poor workers
World Cup 2022 should be in Australia
A country that donât know anything about the beautiful game
No thanks
Nothing is gonna change, every team is gonna go and people are gonna watch, therefore no incentive for change. Sad but true
Tifo getting it right with Persian GulfvđđŒđđŒ
I'm not going to watch it... i'm watching and caring less and less about football, as corruption and money are taking over... football is dying
It's up to all us football fans to not forget this, and really make some noise when the WC comes around.
Never understood why people said that we should boycott Qatar WC but now I'm know. Really cool videos!
Interesting that showed geographical political aspect to football on tifo as well as main football vids. Shows great versatility and good balance
I heard about this guy from Saudi Arabia whoâs Pakistani maid got killed when his lion was loose inside the house...her embassy didnât do anything and he killed his lions and threw him in a dump somewhere so he doesnât get blamed I guess
What I wanna know is:
What are the 10% native Qatari population doing with themselves if they need a 90% external labour market?
Thy probably live better the queen Elisabeth
4:35
in 2015, Bangladeshi Prime Minister supported Russia instead of UAE for int'l business expo.
We had profound fears that we lost that labor market
Should have awarded Australia the 2022 world cup
Any country calcit soccer should NEVER EVER host it
Kafala is modern slavery. I've worked in Qatar. The Nepalese workers are brought in by Qatar Airways and are sent back home by Qatar Airways Cargo... in coffins.
This must stop!
Hey this happens in Mexico too, specifically in Ensenada, Baja California, is not quite the same but very similar, it's pretty sickening
Im blown away.. Jeez. How can we treat people, other human beings like this?
2020 came and thereâs still need for a âno objection letterâ from your sponsor in Qatar to exit the country or even get a driverâs license. Kafala may have been removed from their constitution, but the practices stayed
Excellent video!
However, is it weird this makes me think that without FIFA appointing the World Cup to Qatar not even this cautiously positive step of reform would have taken place? Or that after the World Cup the world will forget about it and things will go back to where they were before? Does anybody really care besides taking the World Cup away from Qatar?
These days nobody seems to care about the poor that died building stadia in Brazil or even the poor in Atlanta who were kicked out of the city to build the Olympic village where they once lived.
[Shocked that CZcams and Google underline "stadia" as if it's a wrong word or doesn't exist.]
Can't wait I will be 17 and I want to be a footballer so I might play
"Persian Gulf States" - that shade though
Please do Bayer Leverkusenâs under Heiko Herllich(philosophy) and Ernesto Valverde/Antonio Conteâs/Simone Inzaghiâs philosophy
Shrikant Radhanpura watch our video out tomorrow on the official Bundesliga CZcams channel, itâs on Bayern Leverkusen. Also see our Tactics Explained playlist as weâve covered Valverde and the like.
Thank you very much, i am a fan of tiki taka football i.e. love Pep Guardiola. There are teams like PSG,Napoli, Juventus,Arsenal who play tiki taka football. I support Arsenal and follow teams which play similar style of football.
The sponsorship system is a good system that gives each party his rights.
Very st*p*d and d*aft
That is why the West will keep bombing you.
Astagfirullah azim
We should do the 2022 WC in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
I hate this. A World Cup wasted because itâs not in the summer. Shouldnât even be in Qatar. Should be in Germany, England, or somewhere else that loves football, not some repressive government that wants money
You should make political videos too, your research was spot on. As a Bangladeshi, I can confirm
I feel sad now because Iâm in Qatar and I was excited for Qatar hosting World Cup
Ban the host and give it to the city of England đ
DDG England is my city lol.
Unfortunately teams cant boycott the world cup.. it would hurt their football associations too much
Honestly I am deeply ashamed that I haven't heard of this until now. I consider myself a fairly affluent and knowledgeable person and yet the word Kefala as never even reached my ears before.
Painful..
Oh..
To people about to say , "I'm from Bangladesh" in the comments:- Your country is not "featured" in this video. It showed a problem that your people are facing. So the solution is not to post a comment but * Educate the one's around you*. If someone is going abroad as a labor, at least try and make them aware of the situation. You can only save yourself.
I still dont get why they dont move it?
FaKe x Terror $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
(Ik its sad but true)
Plz boycott 2022 world cup...What human writes committees are doing??? are they corrupted ?? Not having stuff to deal with this issues??
Unless high profile players, legends and sports unions or franchises condemn this World Cup in Qatar, little change can be brought. Though we must continue to fight against them.
It's wrong what's happening to those workers, and they should be taken care of. Seriously though, to the people boycotting the 2022 WC, where were you during 2010 and 2014 WCs?
need to boycott this madness. Put the WC 2022 in countries with already decent sport infrastructure like the US or UK
How itâs WORLD Cup when only tow countries out of 210 have the right to host it?
@@Elpistolero9 Because hosting it is just a matter of having the proper stadiums for it, and the world can still attend and participate đ€·ââïž
Uninterrupted Rhythm
Every country has the right to host the World Cup but must abide by fifa conditions
@@Elpistolero9 and as it seems, fifa and qatar both are corrupted as fuck! So, we should boycott WC2022
seems like a good time to..
i don't know..
*BOYCOTT?*
So ironically the 2022 World Cup will be beneficial for the workers since now they are heard?
