Human rights organizations are raising alarms over the high risk of fatalities among migrant workers in Saudi Arabia, particularly in light of the construction boom related to the 2034 World Cup and other ambitious projects like the megacity Neom. Reports reveal that since 2021, an influx of foreign laborers confronts hazardous working conditions. Deaths from workplace accidents are frequent, and the compensation process for victims' families is burdensome and often inadequate. Critics, including FairSquare and Human Rights Watch, claim FIFA's involvement disregards the serious human costs involved in these endeavors, leaving families devastated.
