Danger in Qatar

Deaths directly related to stadium construction from host to host for the Olympics, World Cup and other international sports events. These numbers are since the announcement of Qatar's successful bid in 2010 and includes all migrant worker deaths since, not solely related to stadium construction so it may not be significant but it looks like a dangerous place to work.


If current trends continue, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)  estimates that 4,000 workers will die in Qatar by the time the World Cup is actually held in 2022.
