Qatar’s hosting of the tournament has been the subject of considerable controversy before the first ball has been kicked. Mohamed Al Atwaan, Manager at the Stadium, expresses pride in the ‘high standards’ of health and safety of the project and says, ‘there has not been a single death so far’.

One of the workers, Issa, discusses the poor working and living conditions: ‘I feel like I’m in a prison’. Contrasting to the smart new hotels and stadiums, Elias, another worker, shares the dangerous realities of his surroundings: ‘The electric cable is right next to the bed, you might get electrocuted’.
