Blatter does not consider FIFA responsible for the conditions of workers of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

Sepp Blatter believes FIFA is not responsible for the working conditions of immigrants working on the stadiums, infrastructure and other facilities for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

That said the Swiss preses of the world football association Tuesday during a visit to Sri Lanka, exactly four years after FIFA assigned the global final battle to the Arab emirate.

According to Blatter, immigrants in Qatar often work for construction companies from countries including Germany, France and other European countries. . " They are responsible for their employees, not FIFA. "

In addition, the 78-year-old Blatter, who is heavily under fire with his association, nuances the reports of the miserable conditions under which workers from South Asia & euml; have to work. " On the contrary, they are better thanks to the World Cup. "
