Drawing on worker interviews, occupational health and safety analysis, and heat-risk modelling developed by Equidem in partnership with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, the report situates FIFA 2026 within a longer pattern of labour rights risks across FIFA tournament cycles.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis identifies four recurring areas of concern: structural discrimination and worker vulnerability; fragmented and unaccountable labour supply chains; restrictions on worker voice, freedom of association and access to remedy; and exposure to foreseeable workplace harms, including extreme heat. The report also marks the launch of Equidem\u2019s FIFA Accountability Project, a long-term initiative examining FIFA\u2019s wider labour footprint and the need for enforceable human rights protections across all workers and sectors connected to the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2208,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"class_list":["post-2214","reports","type-reports","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/equidem.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/jet-form-builder\/299d8968ef74c5086cb3ee21f13ed27a\/2026\/06\/123.jpg",739,826,false],"author_info":[],"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/equidem.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports\/2214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/equidem.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/equidem.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reports"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/equidem.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/equidem.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
