💨 Abstract

International lawyers filed a complaint with FIFA, accusing the organization of ignoring human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, the 2034 World Cup host. The lawyers, including former FIFA anti-corruption adviser Mark Pieth, argue that FIFA is not upholding its own human rights policy. They highlight issues such as freedom of expression, migrant rights, and women's rights in Saudi Arabia. FIFA has stated its commitment to human rights, but the lawyers urge meaningful reforms.
