More football players and coaches are speaking out against Fifa’s decision to take the 2022 World Cup finals to Qatar.
England’s players would aim to use their platform to shine a light on issues surrounding the tournament later this year, captain Harry Kane said during the week.
“We’ve never shied away from important issues, and we’ve always had our opinions and tried to show unity in anything we’ve done. That’s what will happen now over this camp and the next camp to try to help in any way we can,” Kane told reporters. The government of Qatar has said in the past that its labour system is a work in progress but has denied the accusations in the Amnesty report.
“As a nation we want our fans to enjoy the tournament as much as we hopefully enjoy the tournament. And we want them to feel safe and free to watch games how they please and act how they want to act,” Kane said. “We will be playing in a country where Fifa say we are going to help develop football. That is bullshit,” he told a news conference during the week as his side began preparations for friendlies against Denmark and Germany in the next eight days.
Van Gaal said he was part of a commission within the Dutch football governing body KNVB that meets every month to evaluate the ongoing situation in Qatar with regard to human rights.
