The Underdogs of the FIFA World Cup 2022

from Where The Chasm Is Bridged · host Nepathya Foundation

The 2022 FIFA World Cup has seen a rise of underdogs, with several countries defeating what were perceived to be stronger sides.  All of us love a good underdog story. It gives us hope that anything is possible. However, when this World Cup is done and when the winners have been awarded, there will still be an underdog who has remained out of the limelight: the millions of migrant workers who made it possible for Qatar to be the first Arab nation to host the major football event. This episode delves into the issues faced by the blue-collar workers involved in World Cup-related activities in Qatar since 2010, and explores what causes them to migrate in the first place despite precarious working conditions.  Happy listening!
