Amnesty International criticizes FIFA for awarding Saudi Arabia the 2034 World Cup, citing concerns over the country's human rights record. The decision is condemned by various organizations, including Saudi diaspora human rights groups and international trade unions. The awarding of the World Cup to Saudi Arabia is seen as disheartening and raises concerns about labor and civil rights violations. The Business and Human Rights Resource Centre highlights alleged exploitative labor practices in the construction of one stadium for the tournament. Saudi Arabia denies the accusations and emphasizes its commitment to national security.
