This summer, Nepalese workers died at a rate of almost one a day in Qatar, many of them young men who had sudden heart attacks. The investigation found evidence to suggest that thousands of Nepalese, who make up the single largest group of labourers in Qatar, face exploitation and abuses that amount to modern-day slavery, as defined by the International Labour Organisation, during a building binge paving the way for 2022.

Yes definitely should be relocated apart from the fact that corruption clearly played a part in Qatar winning the bid it is just absurd to create so much chaos in the football calendar to make up for the mistake in choosing Qatar
