actually the contracting companies are to blame. which in turn is owned by the sheikhs, so you are kinda right. it's a problem in cities like dubai, doha and abu dhabi where lot of construction projects happen. especially in doha because the development happening here is on a frantic scale. the amount of projects and the size and plan of many of them is insane. they are building a small city here which is planned to be completed before 2022.
people from especially nepal and bangladesh are the ones who end up in the labour works, and they tolerate all this hardship because the condition back at their homes is pretty fucked up and they earn shitloads compared to their own countries. fucked up situation.

and medical care most importantly.
construction workers have to spend majority of their time in the open heat. when the basic structure is completed a.c's or coolers could be provided for the interior works and all but tbh I don't think that's happening. I had visited one site office for a pre-bid discussion and I didn't see any air condition for the workers.

Weren't most of those just drunk people being idiots & not due to stadium violence though? Which can be avoided by just being responsible when drinking & of course for an event like the WC there would probably be more security as well to try to prevent stuff like that. I was just responding to the idea that there are problems with fan violence in American sports, which there aren't except for occasional isolated incidents.
Its just plain horrible
I cant even imagine their situation. Here in Belgium, where it hardly ever goes above 30°C, there is a "construction vacation" during the summer.
I think the FIFA also hold their responsability. Stadiums build for their events. In their rulebook for selection (mostly a book that says "money rules the rest dont matter") they should look at stating the building conditions.
This makes me wonder. Brazil has some serious poverty aswel. How is the worker situation there ? Poverty and exploiting goes hand in hand many times

Ironic you should say that, with 10 of the 22 FIFA representatives who voted for this coming from UEFA. Greed doesn't know national borders. I also think 'for once' is a bit of a stretch, it will affect three seasons. Let's face it, it's going to be absolute shite, for the sake of a desert World Cup.
At least FIFA have admitted they have fucked up, or at least as close as they will ever get to.

Dude. It's a veiled potato. The symbol of all "True Muslims."
