translated from Spanish: European selections protested against Qatar and called for it to respect the HRDs of workers on site for the World Cup

Denmark’s national team joined Norway and Germany on Sunday in the protest against Qatar, the host country of the upcoming World Cup in 2022, in demanding that “human rights” be respected for migrant workers following the numerous deaths in recent years in the event of the football event. Denmark followed the example of Norway and Germany before their qualifying match against Moldova on Sunday. “Pressure on Qatar should increase from many sides,” the Danish federation (DBU) said Saturday in a public statement.” The decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar is wrong and controversial,” DBU Director Jakob Jensen added, referring to the human rights situation of migrant workers in the country and the construction of many new stadiums that risk being left unused after the World Cup.It should be noted that against Latvia, the Netherlands showed saturday the message “Football supports change” and Norwegians wore T-shirts with the message ‘Rights’ humans – On and off the field’ before their match in Gibraltar on Wednesday. German players, on the other hand, spelled the message ‘Human Rights’ on the shirts they wore during their team’s photography on Thursday. The British newspaper ‘The Guardian’ recently said that 6,500 migrant workers from five different Asian countries have died in Qatar since the country was assigned to host the World Cup in 2010. Qatar has already said that reforms have been carried out and that deaths are not excessive given the size of those countries’ workforce.
