A group of international lawyers has formally complained to FIFA, accusing it of failing to enforce its human rights policy ahead of the 2034 World Cup in Saudi Arabia. The complaint, filed by notable legal figures including FIFA's former anti-corruption adviser, reflects ongoing human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia that FIFA has allegedly ignored. The timing of the complaint comes as FIFA prepares for its annual congress, and highlights its close ties to Saudi leadership, raising concerns about ethical obligations in global sports administration.
As highlighted in this complaint, widespread human rights abuses continue to be perpetrated in Saudi Arabia, and no steps are being taken by FIFA to address these in the buildup to the World Cup.
Instead, it appears it is business as usual with no changes to be made, reflecting FIFA's ongoing complicity in ignoring human rights issues in host countries.
